The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Visitation of the BVM

The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mosaic from the Clyde Adoration Chapel of the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.

Father in heaven, by whose grace the virgin mother of thine incarnate Son was blessed in bearing him, but still more blessed in keeping thy word: Grant us who honour the exaltation of her lowliness to follow the example of her devotion to thy will; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶ Or this:

O God, who didst cause the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the time of her holy expectation, to visit the home of her cousin Elizabeth: Grant unto us thy people, that as Mary rejoiced to be called the Mother of the Lord, so may we ever magnify thee in the Incarnation of thine only–begotten son; to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.
