Today we remember the visit Mary made to her cousin
Elizabeth when Elizabeth was in her sixth month. Our text states, “Mary set out
and traveled in haste to the hill country.”
Back when I was a seminarian, and everything was in Latin,
“hill country” was “montana.” That thought
cheered up a dark seminary morning. It had me picturing Mary riding a
bronco across Montana.
Then, cancelling out that frivolous Idea, I looked up from
my assigned pew in the seminary chapel, just as you can look up from the places
you always take here. You can rejoice the way Elizabeth did at the thought of this
tabernacle bringing Our Lord to us.
We like Elizabeth, can call out, “How is it that the mother
of my Lord should visit me?”
