Sermon for the Feast of the Visitation of Mary, AD 2026
Jul 2, 2026 • Rev. Christopher Antonetti
This strengthening of faith leads to great joy. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit, and Elizabeth, John in the womb, and Mary, are all filled with great joy at the news of the Lord’s work. Trusting in God, they cannot help but be joyful when they hear of his fulfilled promises. That is a great thing other Christians can console with, pointing to those fulfilled promises when everything seems black. Bringing joy through the proclamation of Christ’s work to one another.
