Dear Friends at St. Louise,
WOW! Here we are already, the fourth week of Advent! This weekend we hear the story of the Visitation – Mary’s visit to Elizabeth. How many times have two (or more) pregnant women met to give support to each other? In this very human encounter, God’s salvation breaks through in a beautiful and mysterious way. How often do we ourselves experience God “breaking into” the human encounters of our lives?
