In haste

“Mary set out in those days and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.” (LK 1: 39-40) 

We don’t like to be “in haste”; it is not good for our work and not good for our family life. The only good thing when we are “in haste” is when we take care of our relationships. 

“O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of Law: come to save us, Lord our God!” (Gospel Acclamation)
