There is a mysticism Francis offers to all believers, a mysticism that he illustrates through the gestures of his own life.
If the mystic is one who experiences in an extraordinary way the intimacy with God offered to everyone, then Mary is the model and pattern of the mystical life.
When God works upon us, then the real working of our lives is in the waiting.
The story of Mary is the story of Jesus; his story is the completion of hers, and hers the completion of his.
Somewhere inside that little bundle of baby was the magnitude and amplitude of God’s own voice.
