Let us Sing the Mercies of God

For those in love, everything around them looks beautiful. The book of Song of Song describes the love between the love and the beloved. Love is the most beautiful thing that human beings can understand, and it could be attributed to God for his goodness to humanity. God is love. It is very simple and very often said and spoken by all sorts of people. God loves us without any limit. God so loved the world he sent his only Son to save us for eternity. We are preparing for Jesus's birthday. God loves humans beyond human understanding.

He wants us to enjoy that eternal love while we are on earth and blissful love in heaven forever. He wants human beings to be contented and satisfied without any worry or sadness. Evil leads to unhappiness and apathy in humans. Another name for God is mercy and love. Let us trust and experience God's mercy and love.

Do we long to experience the mercy and love of God?

Gospel: Lk 1:39-45

Meditation

 At that time, Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hilly Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leapt into her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.  In a loud voice, she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!  But why am I so favoured that the mother of my Lord should come to me?  As soon as your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leapt for joy.  Blessed is she who believed the Lord would fulfil his promises to her!” (Lk 1:39-45).

Our Lord is the God of promises. He makes promises not to break but to keep. Our Blessed Mother believed in the promise of God. In this world, we lack trust in people. It is hard to trust the promises of God, who is unseen. In such a situation, Mary had trust in the promises of God. God proved to be trustworthy through the meeting of two blessed women. Their meeting was the meeting of the two babies, John and Jesus. John, who would be the greatest of prophets, and Jesus, the one who would save the universe. The greatest promise of God. Simple Mary believed it, and Elizabeth witnessed it.

Do I trust in the promises of God?
