Saint Dominic
contemplating the Scriptures
1 Samuel 2:1-10
Hannah has vowed, should a son be born to her and Elkanah, to dedicate him to life-long service in the temple at Shiloh. Now she thanks God for the gift of Samuel.
Romans 12:9-16b
In preceding chapters, Paul has explained what God has done for those who have faith in Christ. He has begun to tell us what our response should be, what is involved in living the ethical life and what obedience to God means – in other words, what it means to serve Christ.
Luke 1:39-57
As an angel foretold, Elizabeth is now six months pregnant with John the Baptist, and her relative Mary carries Jesus, foretold to be the Son of God, in her womb. God will make Jesus a king of David’s line; he will rule Israel for ever.
