SUNDAY’S GOSPEL—December 23, 2018 – 4th Sunday of Advent

SUNDAY’S GOSPEL—December 23, 2018 – 4th Sunday of Advent

374

Luke 1:39–45

In Sunday’s Gospel, Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth. The two of them demonstrate just how to trust God’s Word and to rejoice in God’s blessings. They both praise God, and Elizabeth gives us the words that are central to the Hail Mary—“Blessed is the fruit of your womb.” The mystery of the Incarnation—God taking on human flesh by the Virgin Mary—is the great sign of divine care for us all.

Lucas 1, 39–45

En el Evangelio del domingo, María visitó a su prima Isabel. Ambas demostraron cómo confiar en la palabra de Dios y alegrarse con sus bendiciones. Ambas alabaron a Dios e Isabel nos da sus palabras, que son la base del Ave María: “Bendito es el fruto de tu vientre…”. El misterio de la Encarnación— Dios hecho hombre a través de la Virgen María— es el gran signo del cuidado divino hacia todos nosotros.
