Dear [NAME],
Luke 1:39-56 Mary Visits Elizabeth 39In those days Mary arose and went with haste into(A) the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth(B) was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42and she exclaimed with a loud cry,(C) "Blessed are you among women, and(D) blessed is(E) the fruit of your womb! 43And why is this granted to me that the mother of(F) my Lord should come to me? 44For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45And(G) blessed is she who believed that there would be[a] a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."Mary’s Song of Praise: The Magnificat 46And Mary said, (H) "My(I) soul(J) magnifies the Lord, 47(K) and my(L) spirit rejoices in(M) God my Savior, 48for(N) he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations(O) will call me blessed; 49for(P) he who is mighty(Q) has done great things for me, and(R) holy is his name. 50And(S) his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. 51(T) He has shown strength with his arm; (U) he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; 52(V) he has brought down the mighty from their thrones (W) and exalted those of humble estate; 53he has filled(X) the hungry with good things, and the rich(Y) he has sent away empty. 54He has(Z) helped(AA) his servant Israel, (AB) in remembrance of his mercy, 55(AC) as he spoke to our fathers, (AD) to Abraham and to his offspring forever." 56And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.

A blessed personby Lito Dawa Today, the Catholic Church commemorates the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven. A fitting crowning glory indeed to the unassuming mother of our Savior who had totally submitted herself to God’s will. She was a lowly servant who simply obeyed the heavenly Father and she played a vital role in our salvation. The Lord was so grateful to her that she did not experience death and she went straight to heaven. We call her blessed because of her faithfulness to the mission entrusted to her by the Father. And it all started after answering yes to God’s call that she will give birth to the Son sent to redeem us. Elizabeth, who was pregnant at that time, shared how ecstatic the baby (John the Baptist) was in her womb upon seeing Mary and she called her blessed. Generations will continue to call her blessed and we are fortunate enough to have her as our intercessor in heaven. [ continue reading... ]
