Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Unlike a visit that we may make to a friend or a loved one, a visitation is different owing to the purpose intended. A visitation aims to accomplish something. Specifically, it is an encounter that carries within it a meaning that is exceptional. In the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that meaning is not a message, but rather the exceptional presence of the child she carries within her – the Son of God. We can be certain that the mystery of the Visitation will be effective in our lives, if we do now, what Jesus commanded us to do as he died – “Behold, your mother.”
