A Hollowed Space to Be Filled
A cup must be empty before it can be filled.
If it is already full, it can't be filled again except by emptying it out.
In order to fill anything, there must be a hollowed out space.
Otherwise it can't receive.
This is especially true of God's word.
In order to receive it, we must be hollowed out.
We must be capable of receiving it,
emptied of the false self and its endless demands.
When Christ came, there was no room in the inn.
It was full. The inn is a symbol of the heart.
God's word, Christ, can take root only in a hollow.
- William Breault, SJ
