Reflections on the Visitation-Rev. Msgr. Vaghi

"After Mary's 'fiat', moved by inner promptings of the Holy Spirit, she traveled to the hill country 'in haste'(Lk 1:39). It was the 1st thing Mary did after the Annunciation. There is a sense of urgency in the air as this young girl, our Blessed Mother, hastens with child into the Judean hills, a journey of some 130 miles from Nazareth, to visit her elder cousin, who was also with child in her time of need. It is a mission of love.
