God visits us today
Each of us too has that capacity to bring God’s presence to others. On this feast of the Visitation, we are called that through us, others will feel God’s presence. We do not have to do big and great things but simple actions and words to people who need our assistance and help, and our presence and person. A generous action and word to a person next to us would also be enough to let the person feel that God is present.
