READING: Luke 1:39-45
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.”
Luke 1: 42
What an exciting moment. Elizabeth greeted Mary with honor and celebration. Her unborn baby , John the Baptist, leaped for joy and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Anticipating things to come, scripture to be fulfilled, both the unborn and the living shared an out of this world experience.
During this advent season, let our hearts too leap with joy at the thought of the baby in Bethlehem’s manger. Let us feel the elation of Elizabeth and John and rejoice in the birth of Mary’s baby, the Messiah.
Christmas reminds us that nothing is impossible with God. Through Christ’s miraculous conception and birth, God defies the laws of nature and implements His own plan for our world. He has given us His son – Our Savior, our brother, our friend.
Let’s celebrate ! Amen.
