Was Jesus "along for the ride" as Mary carried Him to visit Elizabeth, as she went to the well for water, as she weaved swaddling clothes and worked at the loom, as she traveled to Bethlehem and rested on a bed of straw in the stable? Or were Mary and all of us "along for the ride," the most amazing ride in the history of mankind? As we celebrate Gaudete Sunday, let us rejoice at the Incarnation of God made man and realize that the conception and birth of every baby is a reminder of that miracle. Pray for parents that they will rejoice at new life, protect it, and celebrate the joys of parenthood making their own homes the imitation of the Holy Family's home at Nazareth. May Jesus Christ be praised!
