In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill
country, to a city of Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted
Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in
her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with
a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your
womb!’ (Lk 1:39-42).
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "Mary's
visitation to Elizabeth thus became a visit from God to his people"
(CCC, 717). Our Mother was affirmed in her Blessedness, and the Word was
recognized as Jesus, the Son of God.
While meditating on the Visitation, say
one Our Father, 10 Hail Mary’s, and a Glory Be.
