Foreword: Visitation and Magnificat
What makes this 'visitation' so special is that God is using this visit to teach
different things to different people. Mary learns the importance of 'service or
discipleship' - a big theme of Jesus. She receives confirmation, without any
doubt through the intervention of Holy Spirit, that she is indeed carrying the
Lord. Elizabeth learns that the baby she is carrying is special and has a
definite mission. ..
