*The Great things involved in Mary's Visit*
*1) Mary's Visit to Elizabeth*
The Gospel of the day speaks about our Blessed Mother's visit to Elizabeth
After She received the Good news from the Angel Gabriel and also leant from the angel that Elizabeth is also pregnant, hurriedly she went to meet her cousin Elizabeth and to remain with her for some time
This visit is not a simple visit, but a visit filled with great things
Some of the great things could be analyzed in the following way
*2) Mary's Visit Brings Jesus*
Mary's visit to Elizabeth also brought Jesus to the house of Elizabeth
Mary's visit always brings Jesus into our life. This is one of the greatest gift of Mary to all of us
*3) Mary's visit Brings the presence of the Holy Spirit*
When Mary visited Elizabeth, *filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.*
Do from the Gospel it is clear that Mary's visit helps us to experience the Divine power of the Holy Spirit and helps us praise God
*4) Mary's Visit brings change in Life*
The House of Elizabeth was filled with silence. Zachariah was not able to speak. So there was a kind of sad situation in the House
Mary's visit changes the situation of Elizabeth's house
In fact the visit of our blessed mother changes the situation of our family and life
*5) Mary's visit Brings Happiness*
When Mary's visited Elizabeth, the baby in her womb, leaped with Joy
Baby John was filled with Happiness, Elizabeth was filled with Happiness, Zachariah was also filled with joy.
So Mary's visit brings happiness in life
*6) Mary's visit makes us to praise God*
With Mary's visit, Elizabeth started to praise God and was able to see the great things in her life
Mary's Visit definitely, helps us to praise God and to see great things in our life
*7) Mary visits us every day*
When we pray rosary Mary visits us
When we do the novena of Mary, she visits us
When we pray for her intercession, she visits us
When we pray to Jesus she visits us
Her number of apparitions nothing but her visits to her children, when they are in danger
How blessed and lucky we are to have such a blessed Mother
*Happy feast of the Assumption of our Blessed Mother into Heaven and Happy Independence Day*
*Think about it*
*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
