SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS:
Bible Readings for today’s Holy Mass, Saturday of the Sixth Week of Easter | USCCB | https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading
Today’s Bible Readings: Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary | Saturday, May 31, 2025
Reading 1, Zephaniah 3:14-18
Responsorial Psalm, Isaiah 12:2-3, 4, 5-6
Gospel, Luke 1:39-56
Gospel Reading ~ Luke 1:39–56
“Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled”
“Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.”
Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.”
In today’s Gospel, we witness a deeply intimate and sacred moment: the meeting of two women, both miraculously chosen, both bearing life within them. Mary, bearing Jesus in her womb, goes with haste to visit her cousin Elizabeth, who is also pregnant with John the Baptist. This encounter is more than familial it is profoundly spiritual. At Mary’s greeting, John leaps in Elizabeth’s womb, a sign of joy and recognition of the Savior’s presence. Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, honors Mary not just as her relative, but as “the mother of my Lord.” Mary’s response, known as the Magnificat, is a hymn of praise that overflows with awe and gratitude. She rejoices not in her own strength, but in God’s mercy, justice, and faithfulness. Her song is revolutionary a proclamation that God lifts the lowly, feeds the hungry, and scatters the proud. Mary becomes the voice of all who wait on God with hope. Her joy springs from her deep faith: she believed that God’s promise would be fulfilled, even when she didn’t fully understand how.
Reflecting further on today’s Gospel reading, Elizabeth declares Mary blessed. In her response to Elizabeth’s greeting Mary acknowledges that ‘all generations will call me blessed’. In other words, Elizabeth’s recognition that Mary is blessed is only the beginning of a long line of believers who will declare Mary blessed. Elizabeth declared Mary blessed because of the child she is carrying, whom Elizabeth refers to as ‘my Lord’, and because of Mary’s faithful response to God’s word of promise, God’s call. We declare Mary blessed today for the same two reasons. She is the mother of our Lord and she exemplifies a faithful response to God’s word. In a sense, the latter is more important than the former. It is because of her faithful response to God’s word that she became the mother of the Lord. She is the mother of the Lord because she is firstly the Lord’s disciple, the one who does the will of the Father in heaven. It is her faithful response to God’s word that we can all imitate. Her surrender to what God wants, ‘let it be to me according to your word’, anticipated Jesus’ own surrender to what God wants, ‘not my will but yours be done’. She shows us what surrendering to God’s purpose looks like. When we pray in the Our Father, ‘Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’, we are praying as our Blessed Mother Mary did. We may not all be able to imitate Mary’s motherhood, but we can imitate her faith, which was what really defined her. St. Paul in his letter to the Galatians speaks of ‘faith working through love’ or faith which expresses itself in love. That was the kind of faith Mary had; her visit to Elizabeth was her faith expressing itself in love. This is the same mature faith that we are all called to, ‘the faith that shows itself in love’. Mary shows us the way to such a faith.
In the First Reading from Zephaniah, God’s people are called to “shout for joy” and “fear not,” for the Lord is in their midst, rejoicing over them with gladness. This echoes the joy of Elizabeth and Mary, two women who, through their faith, made room for God’s plan. Whether we read from Zephaniah or Romans, the message remains clear: God is near to the humble and the faithful. In Romans, St. Paul gives us a blueprint for holy living: sincere love, patience in affliction, perseverance in prayer, and humility in service. These are the same virtues that Mary embodies. She loved sincerely, endured quietly, and served joyfully.
The Responsorial Psalm invites us to draw “water at the fountain of salvation” with joy. That fountain is Christ, who came to us through Mary’s “yes.” Her visitation was not only an act of service it was a bringing of Christ to another. Each time we carry Christ into someone’s life with love, we participate in that same mystery.
Do I, like Mary, trust in God’s promises even when they stretch beyond my understanding? Am I willing to act in haste to serve others, especially when the Spirit prompts me? Can I rejoice not only in what God is doing for me, but in what He is doing through me for others? Do I see the hidden visitations of grace that God brings into my life those quiet moments when His joy stirs within me?
As we reflect on the words of the Sacred Scriptures today, let us rejoice with Mary. Her visit to Elizabeth reminds us that faith is not passive it moves us outward, toward others. When we bear Christ within us, we are called to bring His presence to the world in joy, in service, and in love. May our souls, too, proclaim the greatness of the Lord and rejoice in our Savior, who continues to do great things for those who believe. May God in His infinite grace and mercy, grant us the grace to continue our journey of faith and remain steadfast and faithful. Amen. 🙏🏽
Lord, we thank You for the witness of Mary and Elizabeth two women whose faith changed the world. Give us hearts that trust in Your promises, even when they unfold slowly or mysteriously. May we respond with joy and haste when You call us to love and serve others. Like Mary, may our souls magnify You, and our lives bring Christ to those in need. Let our joy in You overflow into the world around us. Amen. 🙏🏽
FEAST OF THE VISITATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY & MEMORIAL OF SAINT PETRONILLA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR ~ FEAST DAY: MAY 31TH: As we continue our journey of faith during Paschaltide, the Church joyfully celebrates the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and honors Saint Petronilla, Virgin and Martyr (Patroness of the dauphins of France, mountain travellers, and intercessor for treaties between Popes and French royalty). Through Mary’s example of humble service and faith, we are reminded to bring Christ to others with joy and urgency. On this feast day, we pray for all expectant mothers, for women longing to conceive, and for the safety of mothers and children everywhere. May Mary, Mother of the Lord, intercede for our families, for peace in the world, and for the healing of all broken hearts. 🙏🏽
Saint(s) of the Day with Daily Reflections | May 31st https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/
(Direct link to the detailed history of The Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Petronilla| https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/saints-of-the-day-feast-day-may-31st/)
THE FEAST OF THE VISITATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY: This feast celebrates the joyful meeting between the Blessed Virgin Mary and her cousin Saint Elizabeth, both miraculously with child—Mary with Jesus, and Elizabeth with Saint John the Baptist. After the Annunciation, Mary set out in haste to the hill country of Judah to assist Elizabeth. At Mary’s greeting, Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” (Luke 1:42). The unborn John leaped in Elizabeth’s womb, sanctified in the presence of the Savior. In response, Mary proclaimed her Magnificat, glorifying the Lord and expressing deep humility, trust, and prophetic joy.
The Church celebrates this moment not only for its charity and grace but also for its theological depth: the presence of Christ brings sanctification and joy even in the womb, and Mary becomes the first missionary, bearing the Word made flesh. Instituted in 1389 by Pope Urban VI to end the Western Schism, this feast was originally celebrated on July 2 and later moved to May 31 to better align with the Gospel chronology. The Visitation reminds us of the power of humble service, the mystery of God’s mercy, and the dignity of all life, even before birth.
Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. 🙏🏽
PRAYER: Almighty and eternal God, You inspired the Blessed Virgin Mary, carrying Your divine Son, to visit her cousin Elizabeth. May we too be filled with Your Spirit, bring Christ to others in joy, and one day join Your saints in praising You forever. Amen. 🙏🏽
SAINT PETRONILLA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR: Saint Petronilla, a virgin martyr of the early Church, revered for her deep faith, purity, and connection to Saint Peter. Though historical details are sparse, tradition identifies her as either the spiritual daughter or convert of Saint Peter, who guided her in the Christian faith. Some sources even suggest she may have been cured of palsy by the Apostle himself.
Petronilla was admired for her beauty and piety, and when a wealthy pagan nobleman named Flaccus sought her hand in marriage, she steadfastly refused, having vowed her virginity to Christ. After requesting three days to pray, she peacefully passed away having offered her life fully to God rather than compromise her sacred vow. Thus, she is honored as a martyr, not by bloodshed, but by the total self-gift of her life.
Her relics were later enshrined near the Vatican by Pope Paul I in the 8th century. A chapel dedicated to her became the burial site for French royalty due to her spiritual connection with Saint Peter, the patron of France’s kings. Even today, on her feast, Mass is offered at St. Peter’s Basilica for the people of France.
Saint Petronilla teaches us to value spiritual integrity over worldly approval. Her quiet yet profound witness of faith calls us to live with courage, purity, and a heart wholly given to Christ.
PRAYER: “Thy triumph, O Petronilla, is one of our Easter joys. We lovingly venerate thy blessed memory. Thou didst disdain the pleasures and honors of the world, and thy virginal name is one of the first on the list of the Church of Rome, which was thy mother. Aid her now by thy prayers. Protect those who seek thine intercession, and teach us how to celebrate, with holy enthusiasm, the solemnities that are soon to gladden us”… Saint Petronilla, faithful virgin and beloved of Christ, pray for us. Strengthen us to resist the temptations of the world and remain pure in heart. Help us to live with unwavering faith and complete surrender to God’s will. Amen. 🙏🏽
Our Blessed Mother Mary, and Saint Petronilla ~ Pray for us. 🙏🏽
THE HOLY FATHER, POPE FRANCIS’ MONTHLY INTENTIONS FOR 2025: FOR THE MONTH OF MAY: For Working Conditions ~ Let us pray that through work, each person might find fulfilment, families might be sustained in dignity, and that society might be humanized.
PRAYER FOR THE MONTH OF MAY ~ POPE FRANCIS: For Working Conditions ~ Jesus, You knew work in this world, and You understand its hardships and joys… Hear our prayer today. Working is a human trait… Work is sacred… The beauty of the earth and the dignity of work were meant to be united… The earth becomes beautiful when man works… Lord, You see that we believe this with conviction, but we desire even more for it to become a reality among us.
We are saddened when people can’t find work and lack the dignity of bringing bread to their home. Give us the light of your Spirit, open our hearts, do not let indifference overcome us.
Help us recover the gift of universal brotherhood. We ask for a heart as big as Jesus’s so we can embrace the call to work to give dignity to people and families.
Amen 🙏🏽

DEVOTION OF THE MONTH OF MAY | MONTH OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY: May is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God and our spiritual Mother. This month invites the faithful to draw closer to Mary through prayer, reflection, and imitation of her virtues especially her humility, obedience, purity, and unwavering faith. As the first and most perfect disciple of Christ, Mary leads us gently but firmly to her Son. Throughout Church history, May has been a time to honor Mary with special devotions such as the Rosary, May Crownings, Marian processions, and prayers like the Litany of Loreto. The Church teaches that Mary, assumed body and soul into Heaven, intercedes for us as Queen of Heaven and Mother of the Church. During this month, we are called to renew our relationship with her and seek her maternal care in our joys, sorrows, and needs. Mary said “yes” to God’s plan with total trust: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). Her faithful surrender encourages us to say “yes” to God’s will in our own lives. As we meditate on the mysteries of the Rosary and contemplate her role in salvation history, we grow in our love for her and our desire to follow Christ more closely.
In this beautiful month of blooming flowers, may our hearts also blossom with deeper devotion to the Mother of our Savior. Let us bring her our prayers, our homes, and our lives, asking her to accompany us with her love and protection.
“O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.”
Hail Mary, full of grace! Teach us to love Jesus as you loved Him. Cover us with your mantle of mercy, and help us to walk always in the light of your Son. Amen 🙏🏽

PRAYER INTENTIONS: On this joyful Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the memorial of Saint Petronilla, we lift up our hearts in gratitude and intercession. We pray for all expectant mothers, especially those carrying their children in difficult circumstances, that they may be strengthened through Mary’s example of courage and trust. We remember women longing to conceive, and ask for God’s mercy and healing upon them. We pray for the grace to serve others with joy, moving in haste to meet their needs as Mary did for Elizabeth. We ask for the spirit of sincere love and humility, modeled by both Mary and Saint Petronilla, that we too may become bearers of Christ to others. May those who feel forgotten be reminded of God’s gaze upon the lowly, and may the proud be humbled so that justice and mercy may flourish. We especially entrust to Mary’s intercession all broken families, strained friendships, and nations divided asking that peace, joy, and unity be restored through God’s loving presence.
LET US PRAY
My holy infant Jesus, as You dwelt in the sacred womb of Your own dear mother, Your presence caused much rejoicing in her heart and in the hearts of Elizabeth and John. Help me to see Your presence in our world and in my life, so that I, too, will be filled with the joy of You constantly coming to me. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen 🙏🏽
O God, who inspired the Blessed Virgin Mary to set out in love and haste to serve her cousin Elizabeth, fill our hearts with the same joy that leaps in the presence of Christ. May we, like Mary, proclaim Your greatness with humble trust, and bring Your Son to others through our words, deeds, and presence. Grant us the courage of Saint Petronilla, who gave her life in quiet fidelity, choosing Christ above all. Make us steadfast in faith, patient in service, and joyful in hope. Through the prayers of Mary and all Your saints, may we become vessels of grace in a world thirsting for salvation.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏽
Save us, Savior of the World. Our Blessed Mother Mary, and Saint Petronilla ~ Pray for us. 🙏🏽
Thanking God for the precious gift of this new day, for the gift of our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV and the immeasurable love shown through His Son, our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. As we continue to rejoice in the glory of the Resurrection, may our hearts remain open to the peace and hope that flow from His victory over sin and death. During this joyful Easter season, we pray that our loving Savior will deepen our faith and draw us closer to the mystery of His Passion, death, and Resurrection. May we walk in the light of His risen life, renewed in spirit and overflowing with grace. Praying for us all and our loved ones today and we pray for journey mercies for all those traveling during this Easter season. As we embrace the blessings of this new month, may God’s abundant grace continue to shower upon us, filling our hearts with peace, joy, and hope in His Resurrection.
