AGENTS OF GOD’S LOVE
We currently live in a world where everything is handled by “agents”; there are agents for cars, real estate, visas, and the like. You can also act as an agent of God’s love, care, and healing. In keeping with this concept, the first reading describes the adoring bond and relationship between two lovers: God and his people.
In the Gospel, Mary as an agent of God’s love travels to the hill country of Judah to be with her cousin, Elizabeth. This visit brought joy to the home of Elizabeth. We too can be agents of divine visitation to others; bringing joy, love and peace to them.
I am aware that most agents are typically motivated by money, but you should be a sincere representative who is only motivated by selflessness and not by financial gain.
During this season, endeavour to visit your relatives and friends, share with them and make them happy. Find time to visit the sick, those in prison and don’t forget to visit Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
LET US PRAY
Hear in kindness, O Lord, the prayers of your people, that those who rejoice at the coming of your Only Begotten Son in our flesh may, when at last he comes in glory, gain the reward of eternal life. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
