Second Mystery: The Visitation
“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

Hail Mary, full of grace…
