“Again, and again, St. John of the Cross returns to the inexhaustible Mystery of the Incarnation. ‘That knowing’, he says is not the smallest part of our blissfulness and he reminds (us) of God’s own words: ‘In this exists eternal life, knowing You, the only true God and Your Son, whom You have sent Jesus Christ’.
Whosoever, in the end, should still doubt whether the Doctor Mysticus saw Mary as the image of our soul in its most intimate union with God, he should then open up his Poems. Also there he sings of the Mystery of the Incarnation. There Mary stands before us as the Mediatrix, for whom and in whom God’s Son himself as Bridegroom marries his Bride, humankind, whom He makes a participant in his nature, and not only He, but the whole Holy Trinity, who, with the Son, makes its abode in the human heart that opens itself to it and is opened for it.”
Bl. Titus Brandsma
