The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

[caption id="attachment_285444" align="alignnone" width="1500"] Saint Elizabeth with John the Baptist and Saint Mary the Virgin with Jesus in the Saint Thomas Church Chantry Chapel[/caption]

Father in heaven, by whose grace the virgin mother of thy incarnate Son was blessed in bearing him, but still more blessed in keeping thy word: Grant us who honor the exaltation of her lowliness to follow the example of her devotion to thy will; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Above: Elizabeth (with John) and Mary (holding Jesus) in the stained glass of the Chantry Chapel. All of the windows in the Chantry Chapel feature prominent women; these images of Mary and Elizabeth are the closest to the altar in the Chantry. Notice the words of the Magnificat (“My soul doth magnify the Lord”) above Elizabeth.
