From religion to Faith, from barren to Beloved one
(Lk 1:26-38)
The solemnity of the moment that restores the soul to the Mystery invites a passage wave upon wave: from the Temple religion to domestic and personal Faith.
From outside to inside ourselves. From patterns to innate prophecy. Unique Promise, more subtle condition.
Faith-surrender - that of Mother - which shows the freedom and beauty of the new orientations, in the progress of the inner guiding images.
Alliance no longer for what is already known.
His Pact is all in the Opening to the Inexplicable that lives inside us.
Intimate Eternal, which can now concretize the hope and the journey of the peoples. A turning point of authenticity, growing.
If the heart’s virgins do not impose demands, the Call by Name (from our own fibers) opens the incapable and sterile breath.
Ad coeli Reginam: silent Echo... this invisible core-Vocation is startling. And with spontaneous virtue introduces the spirit into the fruitful synergy of God himself.
Spousal Trust that re-annotate the threads of the history of salvation: and is opposed to the broad road of alliances with people "who matter".
In the intertwining between fruitfuling Initiative and welcome into the bosom, the Handmaiden is icon of the expectation and the way of each one - where what remains decisive is not the usual, predictable desire.
Vibrant Appeal that is prolonged through history, in a sort of unfolded and continuous Incarnation, thanks to the collaboration of “distant”, unstable and insignificant servants, like Mary.
Ours too, despite us still being filled of normal expectations.
To internalize and live the message:
Which Words open us to life in the Spirit and question the foreseen path?
What is our still intermediate zone, without Encounter?
How to make the invisible Seed bloom
The Tao Tê Ching (Lxi) says: «The great kingdom which held itself below is the confluence of the world; is the female of the world. The female always overcomes the male with the quiet, since she is modestly submissive. For this reason, the great kingdom which places below the small kingdom attracts the small kingdom; the small kingdom that is below the great kingdom attracts the great kingdom: one lowers to attract, the other attracts because below. […] In order for each one to obtain what he craves, it’s better for the great to keep down».
God at home, and Visits we would not expect?
Slowing down a little, we are Born.
