THE VISITATION: Seeing Jesus When He’s Out of Sight

December 12, 2014 By Sarah Christmyer 2 Comments

Nestled in the hills southwest of Jerusalem is the beautiful Church of the Visitation, built on the traditional site of the home of Zechariah and Elizabeth.  Over the altar is a luminous painting of Mary.

“‘BEHOLD, YOUR MOTHER’: COMFORT FROM THE CROSS

September 15, 2014 By Sarah Christmyer 4 Comments

MOTHERHOOD: A MYSTERY TO CELEBRATE

May 11, 2014 By Sarah Christmyer 1 Comment

My favorite spot in the Holy Land is the Church of the Visitation at Ein Kerem, up in the hills North of Jerusalem.  Here is where Mary ran when she learned she would bear the Son of God.  There’s a lovely, simple statue in the courtyard of her greeting Elizabeth.  The two of them stand […]

Reflection on Evangelii Gaudium, nos. 284-288

Two months ago, I stood at the foot of the Cross – literally, at the spot where Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem.  Golgotha lies within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and it is crowned by an altar and chapels dedicated to the final Stations of the Cross. You can reach below the altar and […]

Sarah Christmyer writes and speaks about Scripture and the Catholic faith with the goal of helping people meet Jesus in his Word. “The Bible isn’t just a book about God or instructions for a good life; it’s a place to meet God and be changed by him,” she says. Her love of Scripture fuels her writing of Bible studies and related books; her teaching of Philadelphia seminarians; her speaking at conferences and retreats; and writing for blogs such as this one. “Come Into the Word” draws people into the Bible and encourages and equips them to explore it on their own.
