The Visitation: A Moment with the Bishop - May 31, 2024

Today we remember the beautiful moment when the Blessed Mother, immediately after conceiving Jesus, visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. It is the occasion when Mary chants her Magnificat and her words are a good reminder to us to recognize the wonder of God's action and presence in our lives and to offer praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for our many blessings. As we ponder the response of John the Baptist-hidden in Elizabeth’s womb-to the presence of Jesus-hidden in Mary’s womb-may we be ever more committed to protecting the lives of the unborn. Mary, Mother of Our Lord, pray for us. St. Elizabeth, pray for us.
