41 And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation 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 art you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 And how happens this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
45 And blessed are you who have believed that those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to your by the Lord.
46 And Mary said: My soul does magnify the Lord.
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 Because he has regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49
Because he that is mighty has done great things to me: and holy is his name.
