Gospel Luke 1:39-56

• 39And in those days, Mary, rising up, traveled quickly into the hill country, to a city of Judah.

• 40And she entered into the house of Zechariah, and she greeted Elizabeth.

• 41And it happened that, as Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

• 42And she cried out with a loud voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

• 43And how does this concern me, so that the mother of my Lord would come to me?

• 44For behold, as the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.

• 45And blessed are you who believed, for the things that were spoken to you by the Lord shall be accomplished.”

• 46And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord.

• 47And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Savior.

• 48For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed.

• 49For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

• 50And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him.

• 51He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart.

• 52He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble.

• 53He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

• 54He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy,

• 55just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

• 56Then Mary stayed with her for about three months. And she returned to her own house.
