THE EXPECTATION OF CHRIST'S BIRTH

3. The Life of Her Son.
Contemplate the life of Jesus in those moments, hidden, like in a Tabernacle, in the bosom of Mary. What darkness and silence beset His life! What helplessness and weakness are His! He depends on Her for everything. He must receive everything from Her. And yet meanwhile He is governing the world. From there He continues to be the joy of the angels. But, above all, from there with His divine presence, He is through His divine contact with His beloved Mother sanctifying Mary more and more. What an active intimacy, oneness of life and interior activity between Mary and Her Son, between the Son and His Mother.
