The Hour of Lauds: Visitation

It was with haste, Luke's Gospel tells us, that Mary went
to her kinswoman Elizabeth.  Finding help and blessing in Elizabeth's home, in her hands, in her words, Mary brings
forth praise to the God who overturns the ways of the
world.  In this season, in this song of the world made new,
we remember: The powerful brought down from their
thrones, she sang; the lowly lifted up; the hungry filled
with good things.
