In the presence of the Incarnation we experience God right here in the divided city which is the West Bank.

At the Church of the Visitation we saw this statue of Mary and Elizabeth. We also see many different plaques of The Magnificat in languages from around the world.

Try contemplating for a moment and stop and consider this greeting.

Be silent for a moment before the image of Mary and Elizabeth. Consider their love, between each other; between the two boys in their wombs.

John leapt in Elizabeth’s womb. Like John, I leap for joy at the calling God has placed on my life to be a priest.

What will enable you to leap for joy for God?

Mary said yes to God as she embarked upon the journey of bringing the incarnation into the world.

What will you say yes to God for?
