3 St. Mary on the Hill December 23, 2018 Our Blessed Mother takes center stage on this fourth Sunday of Advent, and fittingly so, as we draw near to the celebration of her Son s birth. After our Lord Himself, Mary is our model and guide to a stewardship way of life. Today s Gospel passage from Luke describes Mary s actions immediately after her yes to the angel Gabriel s message. Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah and greeted Elizabeth. Mary immediately begins to think of others before herself, and Service. What warmth and humility the Mother of our Savior shows, traveling to Elizabeth to spend time with her, rejoicing with Elizabeth over her own incredible pregnancy, and assisting her in a time of need. And what joy this hospitality and service brings to Elizabeth. Our Blessed Mother s example of a stewardship way of life is one that we, her children, can follow in our own lives today. With all the gifts God gives us our time, our talents, our material possessions we, too, can offer ourselves to God by using these gifts to serve and glorify Him. In so doing, we will effectively spread the Good News of the Gospel to the world around us today. We will be stewards after our Mother s own heart. Elizabeth, who is several months pregnant. The young woman, bearing in her body the Savior, and the older woman, carrying John the Baptist, embrace each other with tears and laughter. Elizabeth recognizes Mary s true identity as the mother of my Lord. She calls Mary blessed three times. Mary is blessed because she trusted that the Lord s words to her would come true. Think of a time when you helped someone. How were you blessed? Did you recognize some of the words in this reading as part of the Hail Mary? Pray the Hail Mary together.
