“Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …

The painting illustrates the biblical account of Mary's visit to Elizabeth as narrated in Lk 1:39-45. The Feast of the Visitation, established in the 14th century, calls for unity within the Church. The text is strategically placed between the Annunciation of the Lord and the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, highlighting its significance in the story of salvation. Mary and Elizabeth take the lead in this sacred story, but the presence of Jesus and John the Baptist, even in their mothers' wombs, is subtly profound. As Mary greets Elizabeth, Jesus imparts the joy of messianic salvation to John, causing him to leap with joy within Elizabeth. This reaction is a testament to Jesus's divine presence and the moment's sanctity. Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, exclaims in awe, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" Lk 1:42-43. Her words reflect the early Church's devotion to Mary, praising God for His work through her. Mary's response, the Magnificat Lk 1:46-55, is a hymn of humble gratitude, magnifying the Lord for His mercy and might. "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior," she proclaims, attributing her greatness to God's grace. This mirrors the Church's attitude of reverence, where Mary is honored for her role in God's plan, yet all glory is directed to God. One of the revered titles of Mary is the "Ark of the Covenant." Just as the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament symbolized God's presence among the Israelites and was a unifying force for the twelve tribes, Mary, as the new Ark, carries Jesus, God's presence, into the world. True devotion to Mary leads to Jesus, fostering unity and love within the Church. The painting encourages reflection on the Visitation's theological depths and Mary's vital role in this divine mystery.
