PRAYING THE WAY OF THE INCARNATION: VISITATION: A THREE MONTH RETREAT - DAY 11



FOURTH STATION

"How can we fail to see that the hidden protagonist in the meeting between the young Mary and the by-then elderly Elizabeth is Jesus? Mary bears him in her womb as in a sacred tabernacle and offers him as the greatest gift to Zechariah, to Elizabeth, his wife, and also to the infant developing in her womb."  BENEDICT XVI May 2006

Truly the great works of God, the great mysteries of God come to pass in hiddenness, in the house of Zechariah. The whole Church will constantly recall them and will repeat with Elizabeth: "Blessed is she who believed", and, together with Mary, the Church will sing the Magnificat."  JOHN PAUL II   12 June 1999

A MORNING OFFERING

O My Jesus, show me how to follow your hidden example in the womb. You brought joy, love, light and reconciliation to Zechariah and Elizabeth's house in the ordinary and unnoticed event of Mary's visit. Help me as I go about my day today to find small hidden ways to bring you to others.
