Pregnant with hope and faith?

Are you pregnant with hope, and faith? We are all supposed to be pregnant today.

Reflect on this little poem by St. John of the Cross:

The Virgin, weighed
with the Word of God,
comes down the road:
if only you'll shelter her.

what a GREAT reading! So true and real in the middle of so much "put on" holiday perfection.
I wonder if some of the pain is in being so close to something so pure - Jesus himself - and all hell fights to keep us from experiencing the awe of it. I hope I can catch a glimpse of God tomorrow in the midst of myself.
Thank you for this great advent journey!
