...let us not Love

in word or speech but in deed and in

From a commentary on Luke by Saint Ambrose, bishop Mary visits Elizabeth When the angel revealed his message to the Virgin Mary he gave her a sign to win her trust. He told her of the motherhood of an old and barren woman to show that God is able to do all that he wills.

As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting the child leapt in her womb, and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. Notice the contrast and the choice of words. Eliza-beth is the first to hear Mary’s voice, but John is the first to be aware of grace. She hears with the ears of the body, but he leaps for joy at the meaning of the mystery. She is aware of Mary’s presence, but he is aware of the Lord.

You also are blessed because you have heard and believed. A soul that believes both conceives and brings forth the Word of God and ac-knowledges his works. Let Mary’s soul be in each of you to proclaim the greatness of the Lord. .
