Mary's religion corresponds so closely to the religion of Abraham, who, at the voice of God, set out on a journey of religion (Gen 12:1-4), and this religion reaches its fullness in the hope of his expectation. So Mary sets out from Galilee, and her "Promised Land" is now another man for her. So, the girl from Nazareth goes to Elżbieta in a hurry in order to share her joy with her and be a aid for her in this crucial time of waiting – writes Sr. Judyta Jolanta Pudełko PDDM, prof. AKW, in a commentary for the Heschel Centre of the Catholic University of Lublin for Sunday, 22 December.
