Mary Visits Elizabeth
A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 1, 39 – 45:
During those days 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. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”
Our Lord Jesus is calling us all to believe in Him. There are so many in the world who have rejected Our Lord and Savior and this is truly sad. He calls us to pray for all these people every day. Pray that they can open their hearts to Him so He can give them the gift of faith. We all need this wonderful gift so that Jesus becomes part of our lives.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Come in spirit My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters and follow My Mother as she travels on a donkey from Nazareth to Elizabeth’s home near Jerusalem. She entered the house and greeted Her cousin and something wonderful happened. The child in Elizabeth’s womb leaped for joy for he spiritually recognized Me in the womb of My Mother Mary. Elizabeth in turn was filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak. This proves to you that a child in the womb can send special graces to an infant in the womb of his mother, and so the infant John the Baptist jumped recognizing Me as the Savior. John the Baptist is the one chosen by My Father to call the people to prepare for My coming and he is the one who introduced Me to the Jewish people present at the Jordan River where I was baptized by John. He is a great prophet and a holy man who is in heaven and he is praying for you all.
His mother Elizabeth received words from the Holy Spirit. She said “Most blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” These words you repeat every day when you say the rosary. These words are part of the Hail Mary. The first part of the Hail Mary are the words of the Angel Gabriel who said, “Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you.” The rest of the first part of the Hail Mary come from Elizabeth. These wonderful happenings took place when My Mother arrived at her cousin. You see that I am working although I was not yet born. I was perhaps one month old in the womb of My Mother. It is great, My friends, to read this passage and to marvel at what happened. You will celebrate My Feast of Christmas very soon now. Prepare your heart to receive Me again and I will bless you with special graces. I love you all.”

P.S. There was no sun again today but nothing fell and some of the little snow we have melted.
