<br>
Szűz Mária meglátogatja idős rokonát, Erzsébetet.<br>
Azokban a napokban Mária útra kelt, és a hegyek közé, Júda egyik
városába sietett. Belépett Zakariás házába, és köszöntötte Erzsébetet.
Amikor Erzsébet meghallotta Mária köszöntését, szíve alatt megmozdult a
magzat, és a Szentlélek betöltötte Erzsébetet. Hangos szóval így
kiáltott: „Áldott vagy te az asszonyok között, és áldott a te méhednek
gyümölcse! De hogyan lehet az, hogy Uramnak anyja látogat el hozzám?
Mert íme, amikor fülembe csendült köszöntésed szava, örvendezve
felujjongott méhemben a magzat! Boldog, aki hitt annak beteljesedésében,
amit az Úr mondott neki!”<br>
Ezek az evangélium igéi.
