Mary

A beautiful passage in Luke’s gospel. Mary accepted God’s will, then she travelled to see her elderly cousin Elizabeth, who was expecting John, who was to be John the Baptist. As recorded, Mary and Elizabeth spoke from their hearts - Mary’s words are memorable. Could you find a few minutes to read Luke and reflect on the goodness and greatness of Mary as the mother of Jesus and our mother too.
