Soothe Your Spirit

Envision sustaining your spiritual equilibrium as you lean into the change you face or desire. Offer a prayer of gratitude to Mary for her strength in delivering her only Son to the world, that all may go forth in strength.

A Deeper Look

Mezquita-Catedral stands on a sacred site of pagan Roman worship, where a Roman temple to Janus once existed.

Milk Grotto

Bethlehem, Israel

To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.

—Erich Fromm (1900–1980), German-American Jewish psychologist and philosopher

The Milk Grotto, a holy shrine venerated by Muslims and Christians and dedicated to Our Lady of the Milk, safeguards a rock that purportedly was formed from a few drops of milk that fell from the Blessed Virgin’s breast as she nursed the Holy Infant. The grotto, also believed to have been a place of hiding for the Holy Family during the Slaughter of the Innocents decreed by Herod, sheds a limestone dust that the faithful have pinched and taken with them in the hope of experiencing fertility through ritual use.

If you desire fertility but have lost hope, visit the Milk Grotto to ask for help from Our Lady of the Milk. Take a day trip (by rental car) to Bethlehem from the West Bank of Jerusalem.
