Luke 1:39-45

In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a
Judean town in the hill country, where she entered the house of Zechariah and
greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in
her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a
loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? For as
soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for
joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what
was spoken to her by the Lord.”

Reflection

·        
Do I help another to notice God
brings hope and consolation?

·        
Can I pray for those who have
been friends to me, for all whose companionship or example lift my heart?
