FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
"By his own will Christ was dependent on Mary during Advent: he was absolutely helpless; he could go nowhere but where she chose to take him; he could not speak; her breathing was his breath; his heart beat in the beating of her heart.”
Caryll Houselander from The Reed of God
Thankyou, Micki, for the treasure of a holy card and also that beautiful quote from one of my favorites-Caryll Houselander.

What a fabulous, fabulous quote -- as a mom, it really moves me.
ReplyDeleteThe IHM is something I was exposed to as a child (my school was staffed by the Sisters, Servants of the IHM), but it's only since becoming a mom that this image has really resonated with me.
P.S. Micki, thanks so much for the email -- glad you enjoyed the article!
