The Visitation of the Virgin Mary to Saint Elizabeth

The Visitation of the Virgin Mary to Saint Elizabeth
Fourth Sunday of Advent (C)
Gospel text
Lk 1:39-45
During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country (...), she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Gospel's Commentary
Today, Saint Mary - with Jesus in her womb - visits Elizabeth and Zachary. And there is a beautiful scene! Elizabeth carries John in her belly, in the sixth month of pregnancy. John is already acting as a prophet of the Savior: from the womb of his mother, he listens to Mary's voice and leaps with joy. Jesus, who has not yet been born, has come to earth! - Elizabeth feels it and reacts with great joy. How are you doing with the joy?
