Leader: As we come together today to celebrate the Feast of the Visitation, we call upon Mary, our mother in Faith and our Foundress, and ask her guidance as we strive to incarnate the Word in our world.
Opening Song: In the Footsteps of Mary (from Visitation – K. Deignan, CND and M.A. Foley, CND)
In the footsteps of Mary we love to find the inspiration of our lives, hidden with Christ in God.
The life Mary led throughout her time on earth was the life of poverty: a way of mystery like the Pasch of Jesus.
The life Mary led throughout her time on earth was a life of incomparable love—unified, transparent, and deep.
The life Mary led throughout her time on earth was the life of an apostle, first herald of the gospel.
