Come, hear ye who fear God, and I will tell you of the wonders of the Lord in my soul, we read in the Entrance Antiphon of the Mass.
Shortly after the Annunciation, Our Lady went to visit her relative Elizabeth, who lived in the hill country of Judea, four or five days' journey away. In those days," says St. Luke, "Mary arose and went in haste to the mountain, to a city of Judah. The Virgin, on learning of Elizabeth's condition from the angel, moved by charity, hurries to help her with the normal needs of the household. No one obliges her; God, through the angel, has not demanded anything of her in this regard, and Elizabeth has not requested her help. Mary could have remained in her own house, to devote herself to preparing for the coming of her Son, the Messiah. But she sets out cum festinatione, with joyful readiness, with ineffable joy, to render her simple services to her cousin.
We accompany her along those roads in our prayer, and we say to her, with the words we read in the First Reading of the Mass: Exult, O daughter of Zion, rejoice and be glad with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.... The Lord your God, your God, the mighty one, is in your midst. He will save you, he will rejoice over you with joy (...), he will rejoice over you with everlasting joy4.
It is easy to imagine the immense joy that Our Mother carried in her heart and the great desire to communicate it. Look, Elizabeth, your cousin, has also conceived a son..., the angel had told her. According to this express testimony, it was a prodigious conception, and was in some way related to the Messiah who was to come. After this long journey, Our Lady entered Zechariah's house and greeted her relative. And as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leaped for joy in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. That house was transformed by the presence of Jesus and Mary. Her greeting "was efficacious in that it filled Elizabeth with the Holy Spirit. With her tongue, by means of prophecy, she caused a river of divine gifts to gush forth in her cousin, as from a fountain (...). In fact, where she who is full of grace arrives, everything is filled with joy ". This is a miracle that Jesus works through Mary, associated from the beginning with the Redemption and the joy that Christ brings to the world.
Today's feast, the Visitation, presents us with a facet of Mary's interior life: her attitude of humble service and selfless love for those in need. This event, which we contemplate in the second joyful mystery of the Holy Rosary, invites us to give ourselves promptly, joyfully and simply to those around us. Often the greatest service we will render will be a consequence of the interior joy that overflows and reaches out to others. But this will only be possible if we stay very close to the Lord, through the faithful fulfillment of the moments of prayer that we have planned throughout the day: "union with God, supernatural life, always involves the attractive practice of human virtues: Mary brings joy to her cousin's home, because she "carries" Christ ". Do we "carry" Christ with us, and with Him joy, wherever we go... at work, when visiting a neighbor, a sick person...? Are we usually a cause of joy for others?
