SUNDAY LECTURE | Mary Had a Baby

ORDINARY LIFE - Thoughts and Ideas to Help You Live a Happier Life

Summary of Ordinary Life for December 8, 2024

* * *

Dear Ones -

We begin the journey of “Walking the Way” with the birth stories told about Jesus. And, more specifically, with the stories created about Mary. In order to undertake the journey we are on I believe we must be:

open, be willing to conceive of the new, be willing to go through pregnancy, and to give birth.

These are some of the things we can appreciate and appropriate from these stories.

Dr. Holly Hudley led us through each of these four areas and ended with a powerful poem. By the way, the time began by our singing a duet together. The session ended with a quote from. mystic Meister Eckhart: What good is it that Christ was born 2,000 years ago if He is not born now in your heart?

That’s a brief summary. Information about how to find the full text and video are below.
