Luke 1:42-56

VIN(i) 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 Why am I so favored that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.” 46 And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord; 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! 48 For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed. 49 For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name. 50 His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. 51 He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts. 52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty. 54 He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful, 55 toward Abraham and his offspring for ever, as he spoke to our fathers. 56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
