Ephesians 5:15-20
Psalm 47
Luke 1:39-47

As we gather this evening to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and within this celebration to ask God’s blessing upon this new pipe organ that will be used to praise God beautifully and fittingly, we listen to the words of the Gospel of Luke describe the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary with her elder kinswoman, Saint Elizabeth, the pregnant mother of Saint John the Baptist. This reading of the Gospel then concludes with the first words of Our Lady’s “Song of Praise,” the Magnificat: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior.”
