Lk. 1:39-56 Visitation of the Virgin Mary
Mary is a figure of the future, an image of the new community–the first shall be last, the weak is strong, the greatest is the least, the poorest is the richest, the lowest is the highest–sadly-we live in a world where power and privilege, palaces, badges and titlesof honor–are important. 23 year old Wayne was at my door this morning, hungry, needing socks, clothes-and forgotten by society–Mary, the greatest revolutionary still has many revolutions to accomplish. Deo Gratias! Thanks be to God!
