The Fourth Week of Advent—four candles are lit and we are now patiently waiting for the birth of the Christ child. He is coming soon. 

When Elizabeth hears Mary’s greeting, the child leaps  her womb. And Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaims 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 leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.”

”Today we will focus on Mary’s response to Elizabeth. We will also rejoice in the coming of our Lord and Savior.
