Being, Beholding, Bearing

A Service of Silence & Beholding

an unhurried time in which to dwell at the heart of the Eucharist

8a.m.
Sunday 22nd December
St. Mary's Church
Sullington
West Sussex
RH20 4AE


What good is it to me
if this eternal birth of the divine Son
takes place unceasingly
but does not take place 
within myself?
And,
what good is it to me
if Mary is full of grace
and if I am not also full of grace?
What good is it to me
for the Creator to give birth to his/her 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.

from Meditations with Meister Eckhart
 by Matthew Fox

Peace be with you
