Well, good morning, everybody, and thank you for joining us live here at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy today, and it is an honor to be with you. I am Father Chris with Brother Mark, cameraman Giuseppe, and all of you from around the world. We're grateful that you could join us. I'm excited because today is a talk that I was shocked to learn I've never done

a Saturday talk on before. And that's the visitation of Mary. And I looked back, yes, I've done some

homilies on it in an EWTN show, but there is so much I never covered. And Scott Hahn was one of my teachers, and so I went back and looked at a lot of notes

and looked at some things, and what I got today, I think, is brand new in a lot of sense.

Some things will kind of recap, but it's a beautiful day in terms of grace.

Even though we will not celebrate the visitation tomorrow, May 31st, because it is a Sunday,

we'll be doing Trinity Sunday.

It is nonetheless to be in our hearts.

So I'm going to talk about today the visitation and hope that you can stay with us.

So let us begin in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Heavenly Father, we ask you send the Holy Spirit down upon us to open our minds and hearts to receive the grace you wish to bestow the grace

to lead us all to eternal life and mother mary on this celebration of your visitation we ask as you

did all others when you were on this earth lead us always to your son, our Lord Jesus Christ. And we ask all this

through Christ, our Lord, amen. In the name of the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy

Spirit, amen. Okay. As you can see from the cover, we're going to be talking about the visitation,

the biblical in Luke, but also its

connection with the book of revelation and some really outstanding insights that I've never

gone over before with the help of Scott Hahn. So this year, as I mentioned, it falls on a Sunday,

so we're not going to liturgically celebrate it, but we certainly are going to talk about it,

and we are certainly going to look at the important grace from it.

Okay.

So let's go to our first slide.

This is, the visitation is the only time where three of the most important people who ever walk this earth were together
