PODCAST | The Visitation: A Sincere Gift of Self

[View Transcript]

In this meditation, drawing from St. Luke’s account of the Visitation, Msgr. Frederick Dolan invites us to contemplate Mary’s interior life—her overwhelming joy, her urgency to serve, and her radiant presence as she brings Christ to her cousin Elizabeth’s home. This encounter, filled with prayer and self-giving, offers us a model of what it means to make ourselves a sincere gift to others.

Listen now to reflect on:

  • Mary’s interior life and spirit of joyful service
  • The meaning of self-giving love with our families and friends
  • How to cultivate presence, kindness, and joy like Mary
  • Bringing Christ to others with warmth, care, and encouragement
