🎶 TODD - Locus Iste 🎶

"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!" - Luke 1:42 On the Feast of the Visitation, let us reflect on Mary’s example of humility and service. May we, like her, respond to God's call with a willing heart, bringing His love and grace to those we meet.
