“Can you let God “look upon you in your lowliness,” as Mary put it in Luke 1:47, without waiting for some future moment when you believe you are worthy? Remember the words of John of the Cross: “Love what God sees in you.” Many of us never go there, because to be loved in this way is to live in the naked now, and it is indeed a quite naked moment.”
–Richard Rohr, The Naked Now, p. 142
