She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold\, a great red dragon\, with seven heads and ten horns\, and on his heads seven diadems. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the e arth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth\, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. She gave birth to a ma le child\, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron\, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne\, and the woman fled into th e wilderness\, where she has a place prepared by God.\n And I heard a l oud voice in heaven\, saying\, ‘Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come.’\n________ \n\nResponsorial Psalm Psalm 45(44):10. 11. 12. 16. ℟10b\n\nOn your ri ght stands the queen in gold of Ophir.\n\nThe daughters of kings are those whom you favour.\nOn your right stands the queen in gold of Ophir. \n\nOn your right stands the queen in gold of Ophir.\n\nListen\, O daughter\; pa y heed and give ear:\nforget your own people and your father’s house. \n \nOn your right stands the queen in gold of Ophir.\n\nSo will the king des ire your beauty.\nHe is your lord\, pay homage to him. \n\nOn your right s tands the queen in gold of Ophir.\n\nThey are escorted amid gladness and j oy\;\nthey pass within the palace of the king. \n\nOn your right stands th e queen in gold of Ophir.\n________\n\nSecond reading 1 Corinthians 15:2 0-27\n\nBrothers and Sisters: Christ has been raised from the dead\, the f irst fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death\, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all di e\, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits\, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. T hen comes the end\, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after d estroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign unti l he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroye d is death. For ‘God has put all things in subjection under his feet.’ \n________\n\nGospel Acclamation\n\nAlleluia\, alleluia.\nMary has been ta ken up into heaven\;\nthe host of angels rejoice.\nAlleluia.\n________\n\n Gospel Luke 1:39-56\n\nIn those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country\, to a town in Judah\, and she entered the house of Zech ariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary \, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spi rit\, and she exclaimed with a loud cry\, ‘Blessed are you among women\, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold\, when the sound of y our greeting came to my ears\, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. And ble ssed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spok en to her from the Lord.’\n And Mary said\, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord\, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour\, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold\, from now on all generations wi ll call me blessed\; for he who is mighty has done great things for me\, a nd holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generati on to generation. He has shown strength with his arm\; he has scattered th e proud in the thoughts of their hearts\; he has brought down the mighty f rom their thrones and exalted those of humble estate\; he has filled the h ungry with good things\, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has helpe d his servant Israel\, in remembrance of his mercy\, as he spoke to our fa thers\, to Abraham and to his offspring for ever.’\n And Mary remaine d with her about three months and returned to her home.
