by Victor Hoagland, C.P.

Pray the Second Joyful Mystery: the Visitation

Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth to tell her how happy she is that she is going to have a baby.

Soon afterwards Mary got ready and hurried off to a town in the hill country of Judea. (Luke 1,39) - Hail Mary

She went into Zechariah's house and greeted Elizabeth. (Luke 1,40) - Hail Mary

When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby moved within her. (Luke 1,41) - Hail Mary

Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and said in a loud voice, "You are the most blessed of all women..." (Luke 1,42) - Hail Mary

"...and blessed is the child you will bear!" (Luke 1,42) - Hail Mary

"Why should this great thing happen to me, that my Lord's mother comes to visit me?" (Luke 1,43) - Hail Mary

"For as soon as I heard your greeting, the baby within me jumped with gladness." (Luke 1,44) - Hail Mary

"How happy you are to believe that the Lord's message to you will come true!" (Luke 1,45) - Hail Mary

Mary said, "My heart praises the Lord; my soul is glad because of God my Savior..." (Luke 1,46-47) - Hail Mary

"...for he has remembered me, his lowly servant! From now on all people will call me happy." (Luke 1,48) - Hail Mary

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
