Advent 4

 This Sunday is the last  one before Christmas.

I wrote my sermon on Mary, the mother of Jesus.

She was a simple woman chosen by God for reasons unknown, to give birth to his Eternal Son.

The Gospel was from Luke--when Mary visits Elizabeth and Elizabeth's baby leaps for join in her womb.

That baby was John the Baptist and though they were both fetuses John knew Jesus was there.

So did Elizabeth. She says, "Why is the mother of my Lord visiting me?"

Quite a story.

An amazing one, at that.

Truly amazing....
