The Feast of the Visitation of Our Lady, instituted in 1385 by Pope Urban IV – 2 July.
Mary’s first thought after the Archangel’s visit was to hasten to the little Town of Ain Kharin and congratulate her cousin, Elizabeth on the wonderful event about to take place. As Mary hastened along, those who met her, little realised that she bore the Son of God – humble, sweet and gracious, to all.
So the young girl from Nazareth, passed unobserved upon her way. But as she raised her voice in loving salutation to Elizabeth, when entering the house, a marvelous thing occurred, for the unborn infant in Elizabeth’s womb, leapt for joy, as he heard the voice of God’s Mother sounding in his ears. Elizabeth, stricken with amazement, cried out:
“Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leapt for joy. And blessed art thou that hast believed because those things shall be accomplished which were spoken to thee by the Lord.”
In that instant Elizabeth knew that she was standing in the presence of God; she knew that the young girl standing before her was God’s Mother; knew all that had taken place at Nazareth; knew of Mary’s fiat.
Then Mary lifted up her voice in high thanksgiving and gave forth the marvelous canticle:
“My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid; for behold, from henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed. Because He that is mighty, hath done great things for me and holy is His name. And His mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear Him. He hath shewed might in His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things and the rich He hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel His servant, being mindful of His mercy, as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.”
In this Magnificat of the humble young girl of Nazareth, there is an intense personal note; she sees why it is that she is exalted – her humility. She prophesies and foretells her future glory. Then she says that God’s mercy follows those who fear Him; she sings of God’s might; she returns to the thought of God’s mercy and with this mercy in mind, the young virgin ends her triumphant song.
For three months Mary and Elizabeth rejoiced in each other’s company and gave thanks to God for all the wonderful mercy He had bestowed upon them – one, the mother of the Herald of God, the other, the Mother of God Himself. Yet these months saw nothing outwardly extraordinary; it was just the quiet outwardly ordinary daily round, such as might be seen in any family.
After those three months the Virgin set out on her way home to Nazareth and her return was as little noted as her going. She came full of joy and she returned full of joy, for no hint of coming sorrow cast a shadow upon her.
This Feast of the Visitation of Our Lady was instituted by Pope Urban IV, in the year 1385 and confirmed by Pope Boniface IX, in the year 1389.

The poor blind Protestants who purport to believe every word of Scripture still will not called Mary “blessed,” excluding themselves from the prophetic utterance of Our Lady, “All generations will call me blessed.” Our Lord’s words to the scribes and Pharisees can be applied to them: “Is this not why you err, that you understand neither the scriptures nor the power of God?”
“Have pity on the Heart of your most Holy Mother. It is covered with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment, and there is no one to remove them with an act of reparation.” (Child Jesus to Sr Lucia, 1925) Then Our Lady said: “My daughter, look at my Heart encircled with the thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Do you at least try to console me….”
“There are so many souls whom the Justice of God condemns for sins committed against me, that I have come to ask reparation: sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray.” (Our Lady of Fatima, 1929; Examples: Protestants and even many Catholic disbelieving in Mary’s Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Divine Motherhood; Queenship; not honoring and thanking Her as God wills)

💖🙌 Thank you Darrell – bless you.
Each word is true.
Each word should be printed in the skies for all to read – BUT still, they would not believe!
Let us do our share. Let us love and sacrifice in reparation to our Blessed Mother. 🙏

Ana, I don’t know if you yet realize the suppressed truth about Paul VI, Francis, and Sr. Faustina, whom you quote on https://anastpaul.com/category/papal-apostolic-exhortations
There’s a social price to pay for rejecting the apostate Vatican II religion, but can be proven to be apostate, both theologically:
novusordowatch.org
and historically & through prophecy:
whitesmoke1958.com
On Sr Faustina and the Divine Mercy Image & revelations, see cmri.org/articles-on-the-traditional-cathoPadre Pio “around 1960,” as Fr Gabriel Amorth, later chief exorcist of Rome, recalls, told him, “You know, Gabriel? It is Satan who has been introduced into the bosom of the Church and withlic-faith/the-divine-mercy-devotion-why-did-the-holy-office-ban-it/ ++
traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/f072_DivMercy.htm
novusordowatch.org/2013/10/divine-mercy-condemned
Resurrected by JPII. On him, see
chiesaviva.com/430%20mensile%20ing.
The extent of the enemy infiltration can be seen, besides from the testimony of Bella Dodd and others, in much greater detail in the writings of Fr Luigi Villa (d. 2012), chiesaviva.com, who was given a “mission” by Padre Pio in the mid-1950s to expose and fight against ecclesiastical Freemasonry, and was even given a unique Papal Mandate to do so by Pius XII. He survived 7 attempts on his life in the process of fulfilling this special mission.
In 1963, at the beginning of Paul VI’s reign, Padre Pio embraced Father Luigi Villa, saying to him: “Be brave, now…for the Church has already been invaded by Freemasonry!” and then stated: “Freemasonry has already entered into the slippers of the Pope!”
You’ve seen what Padre Pio told Fr Amorth.
We’ve actually been in the long prophesied Great Apostasy since the vitiated 1958 papal conclave. You asked about Malachi Martin before, He was actually a deceitful double agent involved in what happened:

Most Catholics are unable to perceive that the unprecedented Vatican II revolution is from a newly created counterfeit church & that those who adhere to Tradition in all things are the small (but growing) faithful “remnant.”
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. This is a lot to take in, I know. I have a lot of material. My email: darrelld713@gmail.com

My other comment failed to send. I’ll try here:
I believe the U.S. State Dept’s telegram sent to Rome before the 1958 conclave stating that Cardinal Siri would be too conservative was the result of their limited & compartmentalized knowledge, since the plan was really to elect Siri (even the liberal French & German Cardinals voted for him) & then threaten him into invalid abdication. This is covered pretty thoroughly in Interviews 1-3 at whitesmoke1958.com
Martin employed limited hangout to preempt the research done by Giuffre.
