One of the most joyful feast days in our Kalendar, it seems to me, is The Visitation. Our Lady, hearing from Gabriel that she will bear the Son of God, goes to visit her kinswoman Elizabeth. Gabriel has told Mary that a sign of God's power to do all this is that Elizabeth, long past the age of bearing children, is in fact six months along (with John the Baptist!) Their joyful encounter produces language for the Rosary (Blessed are you amongst women) and the extraordinary song of the Magnificat.
Join us at St. Paul's as we celebrate the Feast of the Visitation on Monday the 31st, 7:00 pm, in the Lady Chapel.
