I love this story in the first chapter of Luke's Gospel. Yes, it's full of wonderful theological statements and of course contains the words of the Magnificat, but personally I love the story for its domestic simplicity! Here we have two expectant Mothers sharing their joy. Elizabeth must have been so pleased to have someone to talk to - after all, Zechariah wasn't much use! I believe that Mary loves to hear our voices when we ask her to pray for us. As Christmas Day draws near, do our hearts leap for joy? They should do!
