O God, come to my assistance
Lord, make haste to help me
-Psalm 70:1, the opening of the Liturgy of the Hours
Thereupon Mary set out,
proceeding in haste into the hill country
to a town of Judah,
where she entered Zechariah’s house
and greeted Elizabeth
-Luke 1:40
Through Mary, God made haste to assist Elizabeth.
He does the same for us–and through us–today.
