Welcome to the Visitation, the monastery whose high altar is adorned with a depiction of Mary's visit to Elizabeth, the Visitation!
This church visit page supports you during your visit to the Salesian Sisters' church, in the monastery church of the Visitation Convent.
This church thus focuses on the Visitation, Mary's visit to Elizabeth.
A Visitation Sister takes us along via app and a handful of videos, guiding us into her monastery church: Into the center of their spirituality - the encounter of Mary with her cousin and their two unborn children, John and Jesus.
During this visit, Mary prays the well-known prayer, the Magnificat. Hence the invitation to read, pray, and listen to this biblical text here...
Magnificat:
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Luke 1,46-55
