Mary's Worship

This poem has a context. Mary spoke these words when she had gone to visit Elizabeth, who was expecting John the Baptizer. When Elizabeth hears Mary's greeting the baby John jumps in her womb. We read in verses 41-45, "And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, 'Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.""
