O Lord my God, I praise and thank You for giving me Your mother. She is so precious to me and I love her with all my heart. All my life she has been very patient and kind with me. And everytime I lost my way, she would lead me back to you. She has been and will always be for me a model of perfect love and obedience to God our heavenly Father. Everything she has done and continues to do truly magnifies the glory of God.
Dearest blessed mother Mary, teach me your gentle ways. Let me understand with your understanding, let me be prudent with your prudence. Show me how to love my Lord and saviour your Son Jesus Christ as you have loved Him. Guide me sweet mother, that I may always have purity of heart, mind and soul. Pray for me dear mother that I may be courageous and bold in proclaiming the Word and bringing the knowledge of Your Son Jesus to all. So that they too well have a deep and fruitful relationship with Him.
Loving mother be by my side always. Glory be to God forever. Amen

GOSPEL
Luke 1:39–56
Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”
And Mary said:
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.”
Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.
