Now Israel is remembered in mercy forever. Now the strength of this One will overcome the world, and bring favor to all who have suffered reproach, by himself suffering it on our behalf. That song of celebration has crossed the lips of Elizabeth and Mary. Now ours as well. Blessed With the stain of reproach removed, there is a new message for ourselves and for one another.
Faith brings blessing.
Trusting the Mighty One makes us a people who are beyond reproach and worthy of favor. Mary can't wait to get to Elizabeth. Elizabeth can't hold back the loud cries of veneration. Things are going to change for the better. Peace will triumph over oppression, repression, and depression.
