“ The Second Joyful Mystery – The Visitation”
(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
- Mary’s cousin Elizabeth conceived a son in her old age… for nothing is impossible with God.
- Charity prompts Mary to hasten to visit Elizabeth in the hour of her need.
- The journey to Elizabeth’s home is about eighty miles requiring four or five days.
- Though long and arduous, the journey is joyous, for Mary bears with her the Incarnate Word.
- At Mary’s salutation, John the Baptist is sanctified in his mother’s womb.
- Elizabeth exclaims: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.”
- “How have I deserved that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
- “Blessed is she who believed that the Lord’s words to her would be fulfilled.”
- Mary replies: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit finds joy in God my Savior.”
- Mary serves her cousin in all humility for three months until the birth of John the Baptist.
