3rd Thursday of Advent

Luke 1:39-45




*Friends, today’s Gospel tells of Mary’s visit to Elizabeth. I’ve always
been fascinated by Mary’s "haste" in this story of the Visitation. Upon
hearing the message of Gabriel concerning her own pregnancy and that of her
cousin, Mary "proceeded in haste into the hill country of Judah" to see
Elizabeth.Why did she go with such speed and purpose? Because she had found
her mission, her role in the theo-drama. We are dominated today by the
ego-drama in all of its ramifications and implications. The ego-drama is
the play that I’m writing, I’m producing, I’m directing, and I’m starring
in. We see this absolutely everywhere in our culture. Freedom of choice
reigns supreme: I become the person that I choose to be.The theo-drama is
the great story being told by God, the great play being directed by God.
What makes life thrilling is to discover your role in it. This is precisely
what has happened to Mary. She has found her role—indeed, a climactic
role—in the theo-drama, and she wants to conspire with Elizabeth, who has
also discovered her role in the same drama. Like Mary, we have to find our
place in God’s story. *
