 If Gregory Ignatius was right, if what Christ left unassumed is the unhealed, this is bad news for women. Christ did not menstruate. Although he did bleed on a cross, maybe that's as close as I need for my monthly bleeding to be made holy. Perhaps my body's rhythms and cycles are holy in that they are an ongoing testament to Christ's life, death, and life on the other side of death. Perhaps my womb pulls me into the resurrection reality, pulls me into recognition that death also holds the possibility of life.
