"The Mystery of the #Visitation implies a whole conception of #communication based on #charity [...] The beginning of communication is the salutation: #Peace be with you! God be with you. [...] How the Mystery of the Visitation is a perfect starting point: in this, the salutation was also a #sacrament; the salutation of Our #BlessedMother was the cause of sanctifying #grace being poured down upon the babe, that leapt in the womb."
