MARY'S SACRED WOMB

Written after Mass:

I realized that as Christ was carried in the womb of Mary, He is in me now. The word "in": the depth with which He unites to us lays me away. The word "in" - we "in" Him and He in us. Who am I that God comes to me and gives Himself to me?

I envision the womb of Mary, with such a brilliant light, holding and forming the Son of God. I behold Mary's womb as so sacred, for it is within her that He lived.

I am awe struck that the Son of God enters me. I am so unworthy that He comes to me. I see so clearly her womb with such light and holiness.

I am so blessed, beyond words, to the point of tears, that He, the Son of God, comes to me and is in me now.

In us, one with us! So unworthy am I, so wretched in my ways, and so far from holiness that He should come and dwell in me and unite in this deep union with me. I love Him so much!
