Gospel
Luke 1:39-45
Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord?
Mary set out and went as quickly as she could to a town in the hill country of Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. Now as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? For the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’
Reflection
The Child in the womb leapt for joy. It was the holy spirit who revealed to the child who Christ is. That joy is not only meant for the child but also us. What we need to do is pray to the holy spirit. Do you pray to the holy spirit so that we can find joy.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus may we be filled with the holy spirit so that we can continue to find faith in you.
Amen
