Our Lady 'rising up' went because Christ incarnate in her willed to begin His mission by sanctifying St John, according to Origen. Charity for Elizabeth and obedience to the mission of Christ caused Our Lady to go 'with haste'. A Lapide noted that also St Elizabeth - a venerable matron and mother of the forerunner - was chosen to announce to the world that the secret incarnation of the Word had taken place. In a few words there is so much of high holy things going on.
