Monday of the 3rd Week of Advent
Our Lady Of Guadalupe – Feast
Juan Diego
is stopped in his tracks by Mary’s question:
Where are you going?
He becomes
Mary’s messenger to the Church.
Mary
sees.
The Church
needs a bit of correction.
Build…re-build…
a Church
open to the cries of the poor and oppressed.
Of
course.
We don’t
mean not to hear.
Benign
neglect creeps in slowly.
Fraternal…in this case maternal…correction
Welcome!
She appears
as one of the poor…with, among,
akin.
She’s hard
to ignore.
Our Lady
Keep our exploring
In the
direction of the vision
Which always
seems to involve a return
With the drawing of his Love and the voice of
his calling
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
T.S.Eliot,
“East Coker” in Four Quartets
