A special episode for the Feast of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary to Elizabeth and Zechariah! It also happens to be an Ember Day, but we touch on that only briefly. Separate episodes on the Ember Day propers will be forthcoming.

The texts we will read are Zephaniah 3:14–18, Psalm 113, Canticle 8 (Isaiah 12:2-6, aka, the First Song of Isaiah), Colossians 3:12–17,and Luke 1:39–56.

We also read a poem of Thomas Merton, The Evening Of The Visitation. A guide to praying with the virtual lectio can be found here.
