More InformationFrom Gillian: These are the two beautiful quotes from Caryll Houselander's The Reed of God, shared in the segment. I hope they nourish you as you reflect on them more carefully:
“When Our Lady stood up, a queenly child, and uttered her fiat to the Angel of God, her words began to make Christ’s voice. The first words of consent had already spoken Christ’s last words of consent; her, “I commit myself to you, do whatever you like with me” were already spoken by Christ in her; they were one and the same with his: “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.”
“Very seldom do we think about the mystery of all the years and all the people and all the gathered memories, both of individuals and races, which have made us individually what we are. Our life has been given to us from generation to generation, existing in each age in the keeping of other human beings, tended in the Creator’s hands, a little flame carried through darkness and storm, burning palely in brilliant sunlight, shining out like a star in darkness, life in the brave keeping of love given from age to age in a kiss.”
