Mi 5, 1-4; Heb 10, 5-10; Lk 1, 39-45
Homily
‘ In those days Mary set out quickly...’. These words immediately link Mary's visit to her cousin Elizabeth to the scene of her encounter with the Angel Gabriel, which ended with Mary's words: ‘ Let it be done to me according to your word ’. Between the two scenes, we might place the lapidary phrase from the Prologue to John's Gospel: ‘ And the Word became flesh ’.
