Mary Visits Elizabeth
In those days, Mary got up and went quickly
to the mountains to a town in Judah.
She entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Now, as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting,
the baby leaped in her womb;
and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
And she exclaimed with a loud cry:
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears,
the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
Blessed are you who believed, for there will be a fulfillment
of what was spoken to you from the Lord (2x)
