The VisitationWill at The View from the Foothills has been fruitful in contemplation. Go read and see if it strikes you the way it did me.
Mary conceived; and shortly thereafter she went to her cousin Elizabeth, to assist her in the final months of her pregnancy. Just so, when Christ is conceived in our hearts he calls us to bear him to others in service as Mary bore him to Elizabeth.
I like the way that there was a constant theme of bearing Christ to others ... except in the first mystery which made me reflect upon the fact that often Christ is being borne to us in ways we do not expect, sometimes from people we dismiss for some reason. And so we must be watchful ...
