The Hidden Word and Eckhart's Sermon
Eckhart explores the hidden word in a sermon where he speaks of the word descending into the darkness of our hearts. He emphasizes the yearning and sighing for this word, which comes like a thief, stealing our attachment to anything other than God. The word is a mystery that we may not fully comprehend, but it invites us to detach from hindrances and embrace the presence of God.
