Father in heaven, by whose grace the virgin mother of thine 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.
Today is the feast of the Visitation. The Blessed Virgin and St Elizabeth meet in 15c glass at East Harling, Norfolk and a 14c wall painting at Willingham, Cambridgeshire.
