Lk 1, 48English original
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
(Metaphrastes.) She does not call herself blessed from vain glory, for what room is there for pride in her who named herself the handmaid of the Lord? But, touched by the Holy Spirit, she foretold those things which were to come.
