And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
John 1:14.

My heart and soul rejoice in you, with all the substance of my flesh and spirit, through the being of the entire universe.
Gertrude of Helfta, Spiritual Exercises VI: 487

In the silence of Advent we will immerse our hearts in the fullness of love that has become us and dwells within us. We will enjoy the teachings of Gertrude of Helfta and Mechthilde of Hackeborn, especially their Advent writings, as we sense with all our heart the birthing of the Word in contemplation.  We will delight in this birthing and its unfolding wisdom in this evolutionary moment, making everything new, everything worthy and everything one.
