Face-to-Face With Elizabeth and Mary: Generation to Generation, Five Sessions for Individuals, M & M’s (Mentors & Mentees, Frien

After telling Mary that she would be a virgin who gives birth to God's son, the angel Gabrielle mentions that Mary's older relative Elizabeth is also having a miraculous pregnancy. The Bible tells us that Mary immediately went to visit Elizabeth. We can only speculate as to why Mary did not stay home with her own mother, but it could be because Mary knew she needed to talk to another woman who could relate to and understand her situation--she needed a Spiritual Mother.
