Queen of my Heart

Queen of Heaven

Mary stands at the heart of the Christian mystical experience,

as did Demeter in Greece and Isis in Egypt

and the Shekinah in the Jewish mystical tradition.

She is the mystery sought or stumbled upon by those who

have opened their hearts to the transforming

power of her love

Some of the greatest of the Christian mystics, have

all penetrated to this secret heart of the Christian vision.

And they have experienced Mary as the mystical core

of their being in the image of their own soul

awakening to the revelation it carries.

Angelus Silesius wrote : I must become Mary and give birth to God.

Meister Eckhart spoke often of he greatest Christian mystery -

the birthing of Christ within the soul.

In these glorified beings woman and man are shown

as the mystery they are and as the enlightened beings

they could become.
