In community, our joy expands. When we can’t rejoice, we can carry each other’s joy.
That is what Elizabeth and Mary do for each other. The good news begins to take
shape in Elizabeth’s womb, but scripture tells us that she stays secluded, hiding"
her pregnancy from others—that is, until Mary arrives at her door, also pregnant.
Perhaps Mary’s arrival is the inbreaking that changes everything for Elizabeth, for in
that moment, her child leaps in her womb and she is filled with the Spirit. She can’t
help but to rejoice. Her joy is contagious and wraps around Mary like a hug. Through
the prophet Isaiah, we hear God speak tender words of comfort; this is the comfort
we can give to and receive from each other during this season.
