May 31. Our Lady of the Visitation

May 31. Our Lady of the Visitation

Theological meaning

The Visitation is the meeting of two joys, two promises. Mary teaches us to carry Christ to others, simply.

In the Bible

“My soul magnifies the Lord.” (Luke 1.46)

Meditation

Mary does not hold her joy close within her. As soon as she welcomes God’s presence, she sets out to share the good news. At the Visitation, her meeting with Elizabeth becomes a moment of shared faith, a joy that overflows.

Prayer

Mary, teach me to bring joy to those I meet today.
