Today on the church calendar is the Visitation of our Lord
Celebrated on May 31, the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary commemorates the Virgin Mary's visit to her cousin, Elizabeth. The meeting of these two women was a joyful and unique event.
Almighty God, You chose the Virgin Mary to be the mother or Your Son and made known through her Your graciou9s regard for the poor and lowly and despised. Grant that e may received Your Word in humility and fiath and so be made one with Jesus Christ Your Son, our LORD who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
