Soon afterwards Mary got ready and hurried off to a town in the hill country of Judea. (Luke 1,39)

She went into Zechariah's house and greeted Elizabeth. (Luke 1,40)
Hail Mary
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby moved within her. (Luke 1,41)
Hail Mary
Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and said in a loud voice, "You are the most blessed of all women..." (Luke 1,42)
Hail Mary
"...and blessed is the child you will bear!" (Luke 1,42)
Hail Mary
"Why should this great thing happen to me, that my Lord's mother comes to visit me?" (Luke 1,43)

"For as soon as I heard your greeting, the baby within me jumped with gladness." (Luke 1,44)
Hail Mary
"How happy you are to believe that the Lord's message to you will come true!" (Luke 1,45)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.
The Birth of Jesus
Our Father
Joseph went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to the town of Bethlehem in Judea, the birthplace of Kind David. Joseph went there because he was a descendant of David. He went to register with Mary, who was promised in marriage to him. (Luke 2,4)
Hail Mary
She was pregnant, and while they were in Bethlehem, the time came for her to have her baby. (Luke 2,6)
Hail Mary
She gave birth to her first son, wrapped in cloths and laid him in a manger -- there was no room for them to stay in the inn. (Luke 2,7)
Hail Mary
There were some shepherds in that part of the country who were spending the night in the fields, taking care of their flocks. (Luke 2,8)
Hail Mary
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone over them. They were terribly afraid. (Luke2,9)
Hail Mary
But the angel said to them, "Don't be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people. This very day in David's town your Savior was born -- Christ the Lord." (Luke 2, 10-12)
Hail Mary
Suddenly a great army of heaven's angels appeared with the angel, singing praises to God: "Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom he is pleased!" (Luke 2,13-14)
Hail Mary
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and saw the baby lying in the manger. (Luke 2,16)
Hail Mary
When the shepherds saw him, they told them what the angel had said about the child. All who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said. (Luke 2, 17-18)
Hail Mary
Mary remembered all these things and thought deeply about them. (Luke 2,19)
Hail Mary
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.
