Praise be Jesus and Mary, now and forever.
Because God is love, when God becomes man, love for man becomes possible like never before. We can love God as God loved rather. Because God becomes man, He gives us the capacity to love as He loves, and we can love our neighbor as God loves our neighbor. And that's an amazing thing that we can love as God loves, show love to our neighbor in the way that God loves.
In fact, our Lord will give us that commandment, “love one another as I have loved you.”  In the Gospel today, the Visitation, we see how God frees our love also from jealousy. When Our Lady visits St. Elizabeth, it's a love that's completely free from all jealousy. In fact, immediately after hearing that she will become the mother of God, she is told that Elizabeth, her relative, has received a similar grace. And Our Lady is not jealous. Tends to happen to us, but Our Lady's love is pure. There's no jealousy in Our Lady's love. She's not upset as if someone is stealing her attention. She is joyful. She magnifies the Lord for the graces that she receives, for the graces that others receive. She is joyful.
God's love is infinite. There's enough of it to go around for everybody. When she does not ask questions, why did Elizabeth receive this miracle? Is she worthy of that miracle? Why now? Why at the same time that I'm getting the grace? No, Our Lady is happy to accept God's providence. “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me.” She is happy to receive her grace, and she is happy that Elizabeth receives her own grace as well. No jealousy there.
For us, it can seem foreign because we often have to struggle with jealousy. No such thing in Our Lady. And in fact, immediately after the incarnation, Our Lady puts herself at the service of St. Elizabeth. At this moment, she is actually carrying God Himself in her womb. She well knows that she has received a grace greater than Elizabeth, and yet there's no jealousy, no pride there. Our Lady serves St. Elizabeth; in haste sets out to help Elizabeth.
Not only free from jealousy, she serves those to whom she is superior. She realizes that she has received the greater graces to serve those who have received the lesser. She doesn't wait to be served as the mother of God. She serves.
The greater graces that she has received, she puts at the service of others, which again to us can seem so foreign, right? We can first and foremost, you know, see ourselves as superior. We again, feeling ourselves superior, expect others to serve us, but it's the other way around. If we have some, if we have more of some one thing that we've received from God, it's not for us to hoard, but it's for us to share, to put at the service of others.
And in this way, the gospel and in the visitation and in Our Lady, we see how true love, the love that God makes possible with the incarnation is not jealous, not inflated, does not seek its own interests, as St. Paul will tell us later on in the letter to the Corinthians.
God is love and God becomes man. He makes love possible like never before in its fullness, and that is possible for us as well if we ask for it from God through Our Lady's maternal mediation.
Praise be Jesus and Mary, now and forever.
