Week 34 - The Journey
"When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." Luke 1:41-45
"When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." Luke 1:41-45
The House of God. Touching the mystery of God, the physical presence of Jehovah God. Moses seen the physical presence of God in the burning bush that did not burn, Elizabeth sees and recognizes immediately the physical presence of God, the burning bush that did not burn. God in the flesh, bone of Mary's bones, flesh of Mary's flesh.
How do we behave in the physical presence of God? Are we like Elizabeth, paying homage and placing ourselves at His feet or is it a complacent, common occurrence type of attitude. God is in flesh, body soul and divinity in the physical midst of humanity. Moses was transformed by God, Elizabeth was transformed by God, am I transformed by God? The mystery of God.
"Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." Mary believed the words of God, Elizabeth believed the words of God. I believe the words of God and I pray my actions always live up to my belief. "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me." John 6:56-57. Do you believe in God's words spoken in the flesh fulfilled in the Holy Eucharist?
What is God saying to me? I have spoken from the burning bush.
Dear Father God, bless this day and all it has to offer. The time of fulfillment is at hand and You are separating the wheat from the shaft, preparing for what lies ahead. I thank You for the fire that burns inside. Blessings for a family entering a life of holy commitment, may they be filled with Your Holy Spirit. Give us hearts that worship and honor You, always in our presence in all circumstances. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen Mother, Pray For us.
St Joesph, Most Obedient, Pray for us.
