The Church celebrates the feast of the Visitation of our Lady. Saint Josemaría wrote of this mystery in his book
Holy Rosary: “We walk in haste towards the mountains, to a town of the tribe of Judah (Luke 1:39). We arrive. It is the house where John the Baptist is to be born. Elizabeth gratefully hails the Mother of her Redeemer: ‘Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb! How have I deserved to be thus visited by the Mother of my Lord?’ (Luke 1:42-43). The unborn Baptist quivers... (Luke 1:41) Mary’s humility pours forth in the
Magnificat... And you and I, who are proud – who were proud – promise to be humble.”
