“Cupio dissolvi et esse cum Christo”: said Paul. As much as Mary, enraptured by God’s enrapturing love. Saved from corruption, maybe from death itself. Like the fathers Enoch and Elias.

Mary had become his teacher and educator.

The Lord told him years ago: “Be a hidden child”. Over the time the Carthusian understood that Jesus statement mainly meant: “Be a child”, and then “hidden”. In concrete terms the mystics to him, the prophecy to the others.

Origen: “Talking about God, though telling the truth, is a dangerous risk”.

Christ is misunderstood by His disciples, God by His theologians.
