Mary went with haste to a Judean town

Published: December 21, 2012

Luke 1:39-44

In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, 40where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb.

And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42and exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? 44

  2. The gift of families

    One of my favourite memories of Christmas as a child is all the different generations of our family coming together for Christmas Day.

Of course, families are at the heart of all we do as a Church and Christmas is a time to remember the family of Mary, Joseph and Jesus and how God came to us as a tiny, helpless baby to save us and show us the way to eternal life, writes Archbishop Philip Wilson.
