The Gospel reading for the Fourth Sunday of Advent recounts the story of the Visitation, when Mary traveled to visit her cousin Elizabeth and John the Baptist leaping in Elizabeth's womb. In this episode of Journey Through Advent, Kimberly Hahn walks us through this beautiful story and breaks down its theological significance. Not only do we find the Scriptural basis of the Holy Rosary, but we also realize the significant role Mary plays in Salvation History: she is the new Ark of the Covenant and the living tabernacle of the Word. As the Ark of the Covenant contained the Ten Commandments, Aaron's staff, and manna, our Blessed Mother carried the Word made Flesh; who is our Eternal High Priest and who is also the Living Bread that came down from Heaven (the Holy Eucharist). Kimberly dives deeper into not only these connections, but other Scriptural crossovers and insights behind the Visitation as well.
