2023 MAY 31 WED: VISITATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY 
Zep 3: 14-18a or Rom 12: 9-16/ Is 12: 2-3. 4bcd. 5-6/ Lk 1: 39-56
Zep 3: 14 mentions "Daughter of Zion" and "Daughter of Jerusalem"; they are instructed to shout aloud and rejoice for the following reasons, and their reasons can be attributed to Mary and to us as well:
First, because of their intimate and unbreakable relationship with the Father. Mary said, "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." Learn to deepen the mystery of our special relationship with the Lord.
Second, because the Father has forgiven them. "The Almighty had done great things for me"; there is nothing in our human lives that doesn’t come from God. He is the Author of Life. He brings us to life through forgiveness.
Third, because they respond to the Father also in love. Mary recognized the work of the Father towards the poor and fulfillment of God's promises. Elizabeth appreciated Mary's prompt service. Let's be faithful to the mission entrusted to us.
Mary is the daughter of God; she is our inspiration in becoming sons and daughters of the Lord.
