The Visitation by AlbertinelliJournal Entry from 8 May, 2009 – Firenze, Italy
Today I saw the most beautiful, touching painting. It is of the moment when Mary, pregnant with Christ, met Elizabeth, pregnant with John. It so honestly and spiritually presents a connection between two righteous women. It captures the moment when both women are feeling weight, realizing the magnanimity of their responsibilities. What a kind thing for Heavenly Father to do—give two cousins someone to share their experiences with. Both women had miraculous conceptions. I find it so fitting and tender Heavenly Father would give each of them a woman companion to connect, divulge, and share with in experiences unique, yet connected. Further proof Heavenly Father truly understands women.
