“Blessed are You, Holy Virgin Mary Deserving all praise.
From you rose the Son of Justice, Christ Our King.”

Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion. For lo, I will come and dwell in your midst, says the Lord. Many nations shall join themselves to the Lord on that day and shall be My people and I will dwell in your midst and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent Me to you. The Lord will inherit Judah as His portion in the Holy land and will again choose Jerusalem.
Be silent all people before the Lord, for He has roused Himself from His Holy dwelling. –Zechariah 2:10-13
- Mary Visits Elizabeth & Mary’s Song of Praise
In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry:
“Blessed are you among Women and Blessed is the fruit of your womb.”
Why has this happened to me, that the Mother of my Lord comes to me? For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy and blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.
Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” –Luke 1:39-47
