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?
