Leap!

Now as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.    Lk.1:41 

Mary visits Elizabeth and as soon as she approaches her Elizabeth’s child leaps in her womb and bang, Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit.

Now here’s a fresh thought, for me anyway. Mary can be a way of being filled with the Holy Spirit. I’m currently in Assisi and grottos with statues of Mary are everywhere. These have been occupying my “Catholic Shelf” for a while. Hmmm…….

Mary Mother of God, pray for me that I may receive a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit of God like Elizabeth, that your son may be glorified in me. Saint Elizabeth, pray for me.
