Pray to Our Lady... In the Mystery of the Visitation, John although still in Elizabeth's womb - recognized the coming of the (unborn) Messiah when he heard Mary's greeting, and conveyed the dawning of salvation to his mother.  As our culture drifts further away from seeing the inherent dignity of vulnerable humans, including those not yet born, we would so well to reflect on God's love for them and the lessons they can teach us

O Mary,
bright dawn of the new world,
Mother of the living,
to you do we entrust the cause of life:
Look down, O Mother,
upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born,of the poor whose lives are made difficult,
of men and women who are victims of brutal violence,
of the elderly and the sick
killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your Son
may proclaim the Gospel of life
with honesty and love to the people of our time. Obtain for them the grace
to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude
throughout their lives and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely in order to build together, with all people of good will the civilization of truth and love to the praise and glory of God,   the Creator and lover of life.
