Today's Gospel: Luke 1:39-45
Today's Gospel touches my heart in so many ways. Two cousins meeting for the first time to share the joyous news of their pregnancies. Mary acknowledges her cousin's long-awaited child.

The happiness they share reached out from the pages and I see the two women clearly smiling at each other in wonder and love. Neither woman knows the future, but they have great faith and trust in God.
