A Visit

Happy Feast of the Visitation!



This is my favorite image of the Visitation, painted by Carl Bloch. St. Elizabeth is so joyful and welcoming I just want to hug her myself! And the Blessed Mother's veil is so transparent and light-filled... just like her soul which magnifies the Lord.

Today would be a great day to visit a friend, don't you think?

I've never seen this picture.  I love it!  Lord, please grant me Your grace to greet all with arms wide open as St Elizabeth.
