The Soul of the Virgin Mary

The Virgin Mary symbolizes the divine emptiness—the sacred void. Her purity represents the openness within our souls, a space infinitely available for God alone.
Meister Eckhart once said, “For this birth to happen, God needed a soul so empty, so free and pure, that nothing but God could enter.”
Mary’s soul was so unblemished, so completely open, that she could receive grace beyond imagination.
Emptiness. A soul that is free and pure.
The author’s reflection—that God could come because her soul was utterly empty—offers a profound insight this Christmas.
When the soul is clear, the body is filled with clarity.
When the soul is free, life becomes free.
Only when the soul is emptied can heaven’s grace fill us completely.
