Gospel

Luke 1:39-47


Mary set out

and traveled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah,
where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said,
“Most blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”


And Mary said:


“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;

my spirit rejoices in God my savior.”


Reflection

If we look at the lives of Mary and Elizabeth, it's hard to imagine what they must have felt. But it's clear in the way they describe their relationship to each other. It's they're there for each other, and they have no ego. They simply are so overwhelmed by the way God has entered into their lives. There's no competition, is just awe that we are being used for something so marvelous, so wonderful. And not even understanding what it would be.


Or how much it would cost them. They’re the models of humility.


Closing Prayer 

Father, to be a human being and yet be called into roles that are so powerful and so transforming or destructive. It's amazing how we need to remind ourselves over and over again, that we are surrendering to a plan that you are in charge of, not we, but you are the source of everything, and you are the revealer of the direction we are going. And we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
