Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 1, 39-48
Mary left and went without delay to a mountain town in Judah. He entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. As soon as she heard Mary's greeting, the child jumped for joy in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, she exclaimed: «You are blessed among all women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! Who am I that the mother of my Lord come to visit me? As soon as I heard your greeting, the child jumped for joy in my womb. Happy are you for having believed that what was announced to you from the Lord will be fulfilled ». Mary said then: «My soul sings the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit trembles with joy in God, my Savior, because he looked kindly at the smallness of your servant. From now on all generations will call me happy.
May God save you
1) Go without delay: That is the key teaching, to not be lazy in evangelization and charity. To go out and meet our brothers and sisters who need us. As Mary went out to comfort the American people on Tepeyac, you and I must go out and comfort and accompany those close to us who need us. Visit them, how hard is it? Visit that sick relative, or that friend who needs some advice, in the end, you know who needs you.
2) He jumped with joy: The result of carrying Jesus is peace and joy. Mary carried Him in her womb, today you carry Him in your heart. That is why, in these times in which we live, we must leave peace and joy in the hearts of those we visit. But of course, to give joy and peace, we must first have these ourselves. Mary is a great help with this; ask her, as she gave them to Juan Dieguito.
3)They will call me happy: In Mary we see How God works. We see tenderness and love in Mary of Guadalupe. Remember today that phrase that comforted Juan Dieguito, ” Am I not your Mother?” Trust her and remember that you have a mother, she is your mother. How beautiful it is to see her tenderness and affection. Today, place your heart in her, and also our Latin America. Remember that Christmas is Jesus! God bless you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Remember, heaven is our goal.
