We are all meant to be
mothers of God. What good is it to me if
this eternal birth of the divine Son takes place unceasingly, but does not take
place within myself? And, what good is it
to me if Mary is full of grace if I am not also full of grace? What good is it to me for the Creator to give
birth to his Son if I do not also give birth to him in my time and my
culture? This, then, is the fullness of
time: When the Son of Man is begotten in
us.
--Meister Eckhart, 1260-1328 (paraphrased by Matthew Fox)
