Commentary
“Blessed
Are You”
On
this last Sunday of Advent, St. Luke offers us the examples of two
women who carry out God's will in their ordinary lives.
Mary,
a young woman, goes to visit and helps an older relative in her time
of needs. In doing so, she brings the Savior to her cousin Elizabeth
and John, her son.
Elizabeth,
from the natural movements of her son in her womb, recognizes the
presence of the Savior.
Two
women, ordinary by human standards, do ordinary things. Yet, one
brings God and the gift of salvation. The other recognizes the
unique blessing given to her and proclaims the presence of the Lord.
May
we grow in awareness of the Lord's presence in our lives.
Consequently, we would be more grateful and intentional of the
opportunities and privilege of bringing God's Salvation and Love to
others in the most ordinary moments of our lives.
