Luke 1:45
43 And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For 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’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
46 Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
