5/31/2023 (Wednesday) Today’s gospel reading: Luke 1:39-56

39 Mary got ready and hurried off to a town in the hill country of Judea.
40 She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby moved within her. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit
42 and said in a loud voice, “You are the most blessed of all women, and blessed is the child you will bear!
43 Why should this great thing happen to me, that my Lord’s mother comes to visit me?
44 For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”

46 And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
47 my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has remembered me, his lowly servant! From now on all people will call me blessed:
49 because of the great things the Mighty God has done for me, holy is his Name.
50 From one generation to another he shows mercy to those who honour him.
51 He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
52 He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 He has kept the promise he made to our ancestors, and has come to the help of his servant Israel.
55 He has remembered to show mercy to Abraham and to all his descendants for ever!”

56 Mary stayed about three months with Elizabeth and then went back home.
