(31 st May, 2017) on the Gospel and the Feast God calls the Catholics of the Archdiocese of Baltimore to be a welcoming, worshipping community of faith, hope, and love.

It is a school rooted in the Catholic faith, a place where you have had many opportunities to come to know the Lord Jesus and to grow in your relationship with the Lord and with the Church. By all accounts you are well-equipped for college and also for the many challenges and opportunities that will be yours as you enter upon your adult lives. Finally, the Visitation is all about joy. Maryvale is a school founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and continues to be a school in the tradition of those pioneering sisters.

As tonight’s Gospel from St. Luke opens, we find Mary, carrying the Child Jesus in her womb, on her way to the meet Elizabeth, the mother of the prophet, John the Baptist. First, let’s recall that Mary did not journey alone to Elizabeth’s house. So my parting words to you are – don’t lose your joy, no matter what. With you, I thank your parents who provided you with such a fine education and I know you are grateful to your teachers and mentors  who not only taught you but helped you along the road to becoming the persons God meant you to be from all eternity. Then, what you have learned here at Maryvale will come to its true fulfillment! You did this by developing your leadership skills  as well as by leading retreats and planning liturgies. If you … Absolutely unbelievable. The final day of the month is the Second Joyful Mystery, the Visitation, wherein Mary, with Jesus in her womb, went to visit her cousin Saint Elizabeth who was pregnant too, with Saint John the Baptist. Through the ages, Mary’s words echo, “My soul rejoices in the Lord!”. Dear friends, as we celebrate the Visitation of Mary today, we too are called to develop the habit of visiting others, not simply our friends but those in need of help. Let us bring the same sentiments of praise and thanksgiving of Mary to the Lord, her faith and her hope, her docile abandonment in the hands of Divine Providence. And that is something you certainly learned to do here at Maryvale as you spent time serving at Sarah’s Hope in West Baltimore, Happy Helpers for the Homeless, Camp St. Vincent’s and Horizon Day Camp. – but there is a deep sense of the reality of humanity, a deep sense that the encounter between the two women, is in fact a meeting of four people, even if S. John and Our Lord are hidden beneath the protruding bellies of their mothers. When you never reach out to help, you always assume your problems are the greatest in the world but in truth, everyone has a cross to carry. A lot of people tell us, don’t they, to think first and foremost about ourselves – to concentrate on money, power, prestige and ‘the good life.’.
