In the episode of the Visitation, we can contemplate the Blessed Virgin from an angle which, although of capital importance for understanding the mission of our Heavenly Queen, is nevertheless little known and loved: as Mystical Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Under this invocation, Our Lady will shine in future centuries for her ability to transform souls with an efficacy beyond all expectation.
At the encounter with St. Elizabeth, a veil is lifted regarding Mary’s role in the sanctification of the Church, since She is as one spirit with the Divine Comforter, by virtue of the spousal bond of a mystical nature that was established between them at the Annunciation.
