A mystery of joy, faith, and encounter After the Annunciation, Mary carried within her a great secret: the Word of God made flesh. She set out in haste to meet her cousin Elizabeth, also miraculously pregnant. There, two women recognized each other, two unborn children greeted each other: John leaped with joy, and Mary let hers burst forth in a song that has become eternal: My soul magnifies the Lord... The #Visitation is joy that is shared, faith that is set in motion, the encounter that gives rise to praise. And you, what grace do you want to bring to others today? #VirginMary #magnificat #Christianfaith #May31 #Christianfete #saintoftheday #church #catholic #catholic #instacatholic #HolyMary #MotherOfGod #hailmary #mothermary #mothermaryprayforus (fb)

“I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” ~ John 20:17 “The Ascension was the triumph of redeemed man. It is the completion of his redemption. It was the last act, making the whole sure, for now man is actually in heaven.” ~ St. John Henry Newman (fb)
