Mary of Nazareth – “The Visitation” – Special

Discerning Hearts is a part of the MARY of NAZARETH Blog Tour/Rosary Crawl, of which we are delighted to be a part of, along with many other inspiring bloggers. Here is a clip from the movie which features the "mystery" surrounding the events of the "VISITATION" - How extraordinary this moment is, especially as seen in this film! So often in movie depictions of the "Visitation", we see only the two women coming together in a private encounter. But in "Mary of Nazareth", not only does Mary and Elizabeth share a heavenly revelation with each other, but they joyfully share this "good news" with everyone around them. Elizabeth freely "expresses" what the Holy Spirit has revealed, Mary joyfully "proclaims" the glory of the Lord to the seeking hearts caught witnessing the moment! This is "Evangelization" at its finest! This communication, really becomes a time of "communion" for those who have ears to hear, and eyes to see. Hope, Faith, and Love, all are captured so beautifully in this scene. Mary's "Magnificat" becomes a glorious expression of faith which touches the hearts that surround her. Oh, and that lovely touch which gives us Elizabeth and her unborn child as the first in that "communion" line to embrace Christ in the womb of the Mother is priceless. Stunning in it's beauty, breathtaking in it's scope! "Mary of Nazareth" is simply a joy for the heart. This is the film Catholics in particular have been waiting for. This is the Blessed Mother we have come to know in our hearts and the depiction that we want not only our families and friends to see, but all the whole world as well. A joy-filled expression of faith, hope and love. The Mary of this film is no "pouty teenager" or "hapless victim of circumstance" as she is too often portrayed in film and television today. No, this is our Mary, who says with trust a glorious "Fiat" to the will of the Father. This work, with it's gorgeous cinematic qualities and touching performances, is worthy to honor the one who would say "I am the Handmaid of the Lord".
