- The Visitation: Saint Mary meets Saint Elizabeth (A Sermon on Luke 1:39-45)
Mary and her elder relative, Elizabeth, are both, without a doubt, giants of the Christian faith. Chapter 1 of Luke's Gospel tells of a meeting which takes place between these two faithful women of God.
Although this is a short passage of scripture, consisting only of a few verses, there is a great deal we can learn from it. Here, both Mary and Elizabeth show us what it means to be a faithful disciple of Jesus.

Luke 1:39-45
39 In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, 40 where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42 and exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43 And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? 44 For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leapt for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.’
