Words of Meister Eckhart
from sermons 1-3
“There is a huge silence
inside each of us
that beckons us into itself,
and the recovery of our own silence
can begin to teach us
the language of heaven.
What good is it to me
that Mary gave birth to [the Son of] God
fourteen hundred years ago
if I do not also give birth
to [the Son of] God?
We are all meant to be
mothers of God,
for God is always needing to be born.
Cherish in yourself the birth of God.
In this Birth, you partake
in the divine stream.
Christ is conceived in your core,
your inmost recess,
where no idea ever glowed.
In this Birth, God pours into you,
and the light at the core of your soul
grows so strong, it spills out.
The light overflows into your body,
which becomes radiant with it.
For the eternal Birth,
which occurred at one point in time,
occurs every day
in the inmost core
of the soul. ”
