Week of May 28, 2012 Announcements
Thursday, May 31, 2010 is the Feast of the Visitation.
The Visitation is the day on which the Blessed Virgin Mary,
having been told at the Annunciation by the angel Gabriel
that she had been chosen to bear the Son of God, went to visit her cousin Elizabeth,
who herself was pregnant with John the Baptist. It is the 2nd of the Joyful Mysteries.
The scene is beautiful:
As Mary greets her cousin,
the baby leaps in Elizabeth's womb,
and Elizabeth cries out in the words that make up the second sentence of the Hail Mary (from Luke 1:42):
"Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!"
Mary, overflowing with joy herself,
responds with the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55),
a wondrous canticle extolling the greatness of God and thanking Him for the favor He has shown her.
The Magnificat became part of the official evening prayer of the Catholic Church.
What better way to remind ourselves on this feast
-- and every day -- of the joy of the Blessed Virgin in bearing our Savior.
