THIS WEEK’S GOSPEL IS LUKE 1:39-56
All kidding aside, today we reflect on Mary greeting Elizabeth, the beauty of the Magnificat, and how, when we realize we are in the presence of God, we find what makes us dance for joy. Then, we can bring that joy to others.
Do you ever get the sense that something is missing? And when you get that feeling that something is missing, do you think of that as a good thing or as a bad thing? Most people think of it as a problem they have to fix. They think, “Something’s wrong and I need to fix it.” It’s not true. Something is right. Something is very, very right. When you have that sense that something is missing, the best part of you, the core of your being is sending you a message.
