Mary Greets Elizabeth - Poster

“When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” -Luke 1:41-45

Elizabeth makes room for Mary. She sees what God is doing in Mary and calls it forth in a loud voice. Her prophetic proclamation stirs something within Mary - her own song, the great Magnificat. And it erupts with glory and wonder.
