Our question: What is being conceived in me, my inner self, right now? Re: the first reading - Ahaz was the twelfth king of Judah, reigning in Jerusalem from approximately 732 to 716 BC. He is often remembered for his idolatrous practices and political alliances that led Judah away from the worship of YahwehAlso, in Hebrew, 'almah (עַלְמָה) primarily means a young woman, maiden, or girl of marriageable age, implying she is youthful and potentially unmarried, but not exclusively a virgin.We explore the metaphor of a "virgin mindset" and what gets in the way of being open to the divine?
