Text on back of card:

The Hour of Prime: Nativity

There was no place for them in the inn, the story says, but
they made a place for themselves: Mary, bringing forth life in
the way of women; Joseph, her partner who trusted his
dreams.  The Word emerges where it will, springs forth from
the margins, takes its place.  Medieval German mystic Meister Eckhart reminds us of how the Word seeks to dwell with us, to
take flesh in us: "We are all meant to be mothers of God,"
he writes.  "For God is always needing to be born."
