When the Son of God is Begotten in Us

Here is one of my favorite advent quotes from Meister Eckhart, a medieval mystic and theologian. "We are all meant to be mothers of God. What good is it to me if the eternal birth of the divine son takes place unceasingly, but does not take place in my self? 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 God is begotten in us."
