Although Mary is the central figure in
this gospel reading, we also consider the proclamation of
Elizabeth. As Elizabeth testifies, Mary is blessed since she is the
Mother of God, but Elizabeth also draws attention to the fact that she
accepted in faith the call to be the Mother of God. She listened to
the message of the angel and we know that she pondered many things in her
heart as her precious son grew up. We too have the opportunity in
this season of preparation to ponder prayerfully in our hearts what we
are being called to be and called to do.
