Visit Blessed Virgin Mary to Elizabeth

The Visitation of Mary is also called the feast of the Magnificat, the one that prolongs and widens the range of action of the messianic joy of salvation.

Elizabeth greets Mary as Mother of the Lord, the Visitation represents the meeting between the future mother of Jesus, Mary, handmaid of the Lord, and the elderly woman, already in the sixth month of pregnancy despite advanced age, which is the symbol of the pregnant women of Israel.

Mary, very attentive to Elizabeth, expresses together with the gesture of charity that also makes the announcement that the times are over.

Jolting in the womb, John the Baptist already begins his mission as a precursor.

The liturgical calendar is based on the Gospel narrative that positions the Visitation within the ninety days between the Annunciation and the birth of the Baptist.
