When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Lk.1:41
The first four members of the Church meet in an embrace and the Holy Spirit is there among them.
This first meeting of Mary and Jesus, Elizabeth and John the Baptist lays the foundation for what happens at Church. People meeting Jesus in body and in spirit. The first fruit is joy.
Every time I go to Mass is a Visitation. I embrace Jesus in his Word and in the Eucharist. My heart burns within me as I am filled with the Holy Spirit. I fellowship with other believers and leave with Joy in my heart. I love being Catholic.
Mary Mother of God, please pray for us.
