Visitation of Mary


The Virgin Mary, illuminated by God, he felt anxious to go visit her cousin Elizabeth. In his advanced age, was pregnant with God nothing is impossible.

He had in mind the words of Paul to the Corinthians: "Charity is kind, does not seek only their own interest, and endures all things."

A great apostle of the Universal Church, St. Ambrose, says these words about this day: "It was Mary who came forward to greet the first. She is the one who always comes forward to give demonstrations of affection to those you love."

Mary does not seek reputation, fame or praise as in many of the views of our day.

As I was filled with the grace of God, filled the house of her cousin of blessings.

"As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit."
Her cousin, very grateful, he said: "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of the womb. Whence to me that the mother of my Lord should come to visit me? Barely reached my ears the sound of your greeting leapt the child in my belly. "

The Virgin Mary took Jesus to the house. If you were a believer as God, would do exactly the same. The Christian is a bearer of the Good News of God, his messenger, the herald who announces the good news.

Another universal saint who was distinguished by his pure love of the Virgin he says: "From this moment of the Visitation of Mary was formed in" Canal huge "by which the goodness of God sends to us the most admirable amounts of thanks, favors and blessings ".

One of the keys of the Bible is able to communicate to others the message of God. Sometimes people feel shame. It is unfortunate that, with so much misfortune as advertised social media, not believers who are dedicated to preach good news.
