Reflections of Caritas

"Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.” – Luke 1:39-40

Perhaps you can relate to the image of Mary traveling in haste, as you hustle to finish decking the halls and wrapping presents for Christmas. It is a busy time of year with seemingly far too much to do.

"The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior; he will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in his love, he will sing joyfully because of you, as one sings at festivals.” – Zephaniah 3:17-18

Have you ever been to a festival? Imagine a beautiful sunny day. The aroma of sizzling bratwurst and hamburgers wafts through the air as they are grilled over a charcoal fire. Laughter and a chorus of conversations echo around you as musicians play a joyful tune from across the way. Adults reminisce while children chase each other in a game of tag.
