This podcast features a Scripture reading, reflection questions, and soothing music to lead you deeper into prayer on the Visitation.

For each week of Advent, we have released short podcasts that are meditations on one aspect of Mary's life related to Advent. This is the third episode of our Advent Marian Meditations, and it is about the Visitation. We hope you can pray with this podcast, perhaps as a new prayer practice for Advent. This podcast features a Scripture reading, reflection questions, and soothing music to lead you deeper into prayer. The next and final episode is on the Nativity.

Listen in the mini-player below. See a transcript of the meditation here.
