Visio Divina with The Visitation
Visio Divina with The Visitation by James B. Janknegt 2007

Again, we hear the passage from Luke 1:39-45 about Mary’s visit with her cousin Elizabeth. So let’s do a visio divina again. This time visio divina with The Visitation. I’ve provided another contemporary piece of art.

Luke 1:39-45

Mary set out in those days and traveled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.  And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.  Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”

I would love to hear your thoughts! Click here to get an idea of where to start. I’ll provide mine a bit later. For now, here’s today’s O Antiphon.

O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death!

Are you starting to feel the anticipation and excitement? I am! God bless you!
