Advent 4 - Love - God's Love Breaks the Rules

On this Advent Sundayof Love - Mary and Elizabeth connect and are a presence of love for one another in a world where the social rules around them would otherwise thrust shame upon them.  (Luke 1: 39-45)  In Queen and David Bowie's song, Under Pressure, we're told to listen to how, 'Love dares us to change our ways of caring about ourselves."  The same wisdom is offered by Amy Silverman in her piece from CBC's Tapestery, entitled "Lessons in love form my child with Down syndrome."  That can be listened to by following this link.
