Visitors 4th Sunday Advent

As many of us prepare to welcome visitors to our home, or prepare to travel to visit friends and family, our gospel reading on this 4th Sunday of Advent tells us about the visitation.  That moment when Mary who has been told she will bear a son and call him Emmanuel goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth.  Today's art work shows in an everyday experience of visiting another reveals an extraordinary greeting.


At this time of year let us remember those for whom a visit may make a difference in ways we may never realise; setting up a treasured memory, providing an opportunity to share time and our lives.  Let us also remember that on Friday Jesus will come to us again ... how can we be ready to welcome him into our lives.
