After Mary heard the Angel Gabriel told her: " Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in his old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren ( L. 1, 36 ) is felt enlightened by the Holy Spirit and realized I should go visit and help this family and bring the graces and blessings of the Son of God was incarnated in her. By which the Gospel says: " Mary got up and went quickly, very quickly to the mountainous region " (Lk . 1.39). Leaving the quiet of contemplation, which was dedicated quietly in his house in Nazareth, leaving the peace of his household was soon to help in the house of Elizabeth, because as the Holy Book says: "Charity is helpful , does not seek only their own interest, and supports all " (1 Cor . 13 ) . Mary "was promptly " because it always goes fast when it comes to helping those in need.
This visit is different from the worldly visitors that those are reduced to empty courtesies and ceremonies and demonstrations of respect and esteem. Instead Mary's visit with blessings filled the house of Zacharias, Elizabeth and John. "As soon Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled the Holy Spirit "(Lk . 1.40). In other words, the child John was a great joy to feel blessed by the presence and proximity of the Redeemer who came into the holy womb of Mary, the mother Isabel had the that of being filled with the Holy Spirit. Two big favor: holy joy and the Holy Spirit.
" And Elizabeth cried aloud: 'Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. Where to me that the mother of my Lord should come to visit me? Just got my ears the sound of your greeting the child leaped in my womb ' "(Lk . 1, 45 ).
Through the visit of Mary took Jesus to that home many favors and graces, the Holy Spirit to Elizabeth, the joy of John, the gift of prophecy, etc. They are the first that we know has done favors on earth the Son of God incarnate. San Bernardo said that since Mary was acting as "immense Canal" by which the goodness of God sends to us the most admirable amounts of grace, favor and blessings. The S.
Bible, receiving messages from God are dedicated to helping others. Mary was the most important message that God has sent to earth, the Incarnation of the Redeemer in the world, and then it was a humble service to her cousin Elizabeth. It was not as queen and mistress but as a maid, cook, porter, babysitting and caretaker of the house. In her own to fulfill that prediction of Jesus: " who humbles himself will be exalted ."
"Happy you because you believed." This phrase of Elizabeth to Mary, was always a favorite of Pope John Paul II.
Hail Mary and Come ...!
