A New Global Jubilee Has Begun, The Holy Year Of Mercy....
“God's mercy can make even the driest land become a garden, can restore life to dry bones (cf. Ez 37:1-14). ... Let us be renewed by God's mercy, let us be loved by Jesus, let us enable the power of God’s love to transform our lives too; and let us become agents of this mercy, channels through which God can water the earth, protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish.”
Today’s Gospel is the Visitation passage. This, of course, is the pivotal story that led to the foundation of the Congregation of Notre Dame in imitation of the uncloistered and journeying Mary. In this experience Mary and Elizabeth illustrate the fundamental issue in the life of faith: seeking the will of God in relationships and in our daily encounters.
