- 47 And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Savior.
- 48 For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed.
- 49 For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
- 50 And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him.
- 51 He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart.
- 52 He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble.
- 53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
- 54 He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy,
- 55 just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
- 56 Then Mary stayed with her for about three months. And she returned to her own house.

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
