I am reminded of the day I had the unique opportunity to hear the Irish poet and modern-day mystic John O’Donohue speak. He was describing, with unabashed wonder, what it must have been like to spend a day in the home of Mary and Joseph, the earthly parents of Jesus. O’Donohue said something like this: “Can you imagine the power that you would have felt in that space?! These parents found the unique ability to love their child in such a way that he was free to grow and discover his true identity as the Son of God ... wow!”
