Cohabitation with mystery

Mary, having first changed her joy into wonder, turned her wonder into entertainments of the mystery, and the mystery into a fruitition and cohabitation with it: for "Mary kept all these sayings, and pondered them in her heart".

Jeremy Taylor The Great Exemplar I.IV.7.

(The icon of the Theotokos and Christ Child is by Ulyana Tomkevych.)
