REFLECTION FOR ADVENT
The reading below appears for a Morning Prayer in Advent; it's from the People's Companion to the Breviary, p. 256. This book is published by the Carmelite sisters in Indianapolis. The quote comes from Sr. Teresa Boersig, OCD, in "Christmas Reverie":
"Our first home was in the womb of our earthly mother, but the womb of God is our "forever" home … In the womb of God, our Eternal Mother, we can indeed enter and find again the source of our being, the font of life-giving waters, the life of our life. God is pregnant with us -- holding us, nourishing us, delighting in us, bringing us into birth at each new moment -- yet enveloping and embracing us forever in the fold of this Holy Womb. It is our refuge, our place of repose, our home."
