Father Broom preaches on the 4th Sunday of Advent. The Gospel is Luke 1:39-45 – The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth. Mary goes “in haste” to assist Elizabeth…. they are both miraculously with child. A young girl of 14 with a pregnancy that to the world seems unexplained…..a woman past the normal years of child bearing. In today’s world, they would both be candidates for an abortion.
But Mary rejoices in the Lord and Elizabeth rejoices at Mary’s greeting. John in her womb leaps for joy and he is sanctified by the presence of the God Man in Mary’s womb. This gospel helps us see that all life from the moment of conception until natural death is a precious gift from God.
Mary’s word is always “YES” to life.
Father Ed Broom OMV is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens California.
