Pathways of Hope: "Faith Recognized"

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2024 Saturday of the Third Week of Advent Memorial of Saint Peter Canisius, Priest and Doctor of the Church GOSPEL OF THE DAY: LUKE 1:39 - 45 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” Reflection by Jim Orbe: Lay missionary.
