(Zephaniah 3:17)
Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer.
(Rom 12:12)
Mary makes haste to the hill country today, to see her pregnant cousin Elizabeth. When Elizabeth hears Mary's greeting, the infant in her womb leaps for joy. Mary and Jesus come to greet you too. Open your door and let them in. Leap for joy! My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord!
Behold, the long-desired of nations
is standing at the door and knocking.
Get up, run, open!
Get up by faith,
Run by prayer,
Open by consent!
Behold, she says,
I am the handmaid of the Lord.
Be it unto me according to your word.
(Bernard of Clairvaux, in Mary, Most Holy: Meditating with the Early Cistercians)
MARY, CAUSE OF OUR JOY,
SAINT ELIZABETH,
PRAY FOR US.
