Joyful Mysteries

Second Mystery: The Visitation

The Visitation card
“She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!”Luke 1:42

Mary hastens into the hill country to serve her kinswoman Elizabeth. At Mary’s greeting the infant John leaps for joy in Elizabeth’s womb, and Mary sings her song of praise, the Magnificat.

Fruit of the mystery: Love of neighbor

Suscipe

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. You have given all to me; to you, O Lord, I return it. All is yours; dispose of it wholly according to your will. Give me only your love and your grace, for this is sufficient for me. Amen.
