The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
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.
