Greetings!
Thank you for continuing to journey with us through the season of Advent. You are now journeying together with members of over 60 different congregations in multiple dioceses. Today we present the Gospel, in hopeful anticipation as we come together in reflection and prayer with our home congregations, that we may all join our voices in praise as we await the joyful coming.

Scripture
In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leapt in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry, 'Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leapt for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be* a fulfilment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.'
Luke 1:39-45 |

Prayer
O God, enter my heart once more.
Startle me with the rhythm of salvation.
Bring me to all my senses this week, that I may know you
in the fullness of your presence. Amen.
