To birth a new vision (Kochurani Abraham)


  The Feast of the Assumption invites us to birth a new vision, like the apocalyptic woman and like Mary, by becoming persons, a community, a Church who can intervene prophetically in this world.  This new vision that we call the Reign of God would be realized where people share, where they love the earth and all its creatures, where they take a stance to include the excluded ones of this world into the table fellowship of life.  For this to happen, we need to be impregnated by the Spirit – Sophia, the Wisdom of God – who would make us friends of God and the prophets.  Then we will give birth to God as Mary did and share in her Assumption in the already-not yet dialectic, till we merge fully with the source of life.  Are we ready for this birthing mission?
