“The Visitation is one of your sweetest feasts, O Mother; it is more than a feast of the Lord, for it is He who acts in you and through you. You proclaim the good news, you preach the Gospel, and you sanctify—not with words, but in silence, by bringing Jesus to Elizabeth and John.” /St. Charles de Foucauld/
“In fact, this is not primarily Mary’s visit to Elizabeth, but Christ’s visit to John. Mary is the one who mediates this encounter. Here already begins what will be her most important task: to be the mediator of grace.. Many fear that Mary, like a screen, might stand between God and man, but it is her task precisely to facilitate the encounter. Wherever she is with her Child, His grace flows through her into the world.” / W. Stinissen OCD/
Mary, our Mediatrix, who brings Jesus to us, who intercedes for all that is needed to know Him better, to encounter Him, and to rejoice in Him—show us Your Son and pray for us, now and at the hour of our death.
