May 31, 2022: The Visitation of Mary and her cousin Elizabeth

                                     _______________Hebrews 3:6_

 we 

 are 

 God’s 

 house 

 if we 

 hold firm

        the confidence and the pride 

                              that belong to hope.

I love this day - it reminds me that faith, while being an intimate journey,  is not a solitary venture, but that “we get by 

with a little help from our friends.”   

                           As soon as she realizes what has happened to her, 

                       Mary travels to visit her cousin Elizabeth. The angel 

                    Gabriel had told her  as a sign that “nothing is im-

                 possible for God,”  that her cousin Elizabeth, who 

             was older and had never been able to conceive, 

        was 6 months pregnant.  She went and stayed 

   with her until after her child, John, was born.
