The Visitation – When Love Ran Across the Mountains
In this tender book, children enter the humble home of Nazareth and listen to a precious conversation between the Child Jesus and His Mother. As the little Jesus listens attentively, Mary tells Him what it was like to travel through the mountains of Judea to visit her cousin Elizabeth.
Amid the memories of the journey — the scent of bread baking, the singing of the women, the dust of the road, and the joy of the encounter — Mary reveals to her Son that every step of that journey was moved by love.
And there, in the wombs of the two mothers, the miracle of joy took place: John leapt, Mary rejoiced, Elizabeth proclaimed, and God confirmed His promise.
With gentle language, soft illustrations and faithful Catholic teaching, the book shows children that serving is the most beautiful way to love — and that the Visitation is an invitation to carry Jesus to others, just as Mary did.
