After receiving the invitation to be the Mother of God and the news of her cousin's amazing pregnancy, Mary set our in haste visit her. No doubt her excitment was two-fold...over Elizabeth's impending delivery and of her own "surprise" and astounding pregnancy. She was quick to respond, with a sense of urgency to "be there" with her cousin and share her good news. This journey in haste has become the theme or the current administration of the Marist Brothers and the subject of an inspiring document from our last General Chapter: Go in Haste To Another Land. There is a sense of urgency that the new evangelization must happen now, and that we must be willing to leave our comfortable homes and lives to make it happen. How fitting as we approach the celebration of Christmas...the beginning of the first evangelization...that we adopt this role as we wish others a Happy New year. It's up to US to make it happy.
