Lk 1:39-45

Mary Visits Elizabeth. 39During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, 40where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit,^s 42cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.^t 43And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord^* should come to me? 44For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. 45Blessed are you who believed^* that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”^u
