MEMORIES AND DREAMS

Throughout our lives, we retain the language and habits of our native re-gion and family of origin. Should we return to our home after a long ab-sence, we quickly revert to its famil-

iar speech and practices. Our deep memory is re-flected in old stories and words and speech patterns. This familiarity runs like an underground river and accompanies us wherever we go. Not only do we remember, we are incorporated into and made part of a greater memory. In remem-bering and recollecting, we are in turn gathered up and re-collected. Today we remember Mary, a small figure travel-ling the country roads to visit Elizabeth. All the great pronouncements and dreams of the prophets point to this time when the Lord’s words to Mary would be gathered and fulfilled. The memories of her people are alive in her, and memories of her nourish our own living faith.
