The reading - using as text the Annuciation - touches on the teaching that Mary symbolizes a longing to know the real truth behind things in our spiritual life and in our walk with All That Is.
Hmmm.... A good starting point to getting to that gut-level awareness is to know the real truth behind the things of our natural life. If we can get there, it becomes an excellent starting point for knowing real spiritual truth.
A genuine desire to know... That has unimaginable power even without hitching it to spiritual truth. Seems to me that a genuine desire to know is experienced as a lifelong curiosity, on a natural as well as on a spiritual plane.
I, for one, highly respect the genuine desire to know practical, comparatively mundane worldly things. That mastering them, being loyal & steadfast in making them part of daily life, helps us develop the tools that help us uncover, embrace, then stay loyal & steadfast to spiritual truth.
Let me have a genuine desire to know every type of truth, to recognize it as truth for me, to hold it close to my heart. And let me never stop searching & learning.
