- 39 And in those days, Mary, rising up, traveled quickly into the hill country, to a city of Judah.
- 40 And she entered into the house of Zechariah, and she greeted Elizabeth.
- 41 And it happened that, as Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
- 42 And she cried out with a loud voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
- 43 And how does this concern me, so that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
- 44 For behold, as the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
- 45 And blessed are you who believed, for the things that were spoken to you by the Lord shall be accomplished.”
- 46 And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord.
- 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.

Catholic Public Domain Version

Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 1](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/1/)

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.
