O almighty, eternal God, we
rightly marvel at the great grace which You have always bestowed upon Your
elect and saints, on hearts called and sanctified by You, especially that Mary
earnestly hastened over the hill country to her cousin Elizabeth upon the
angelic annunciation, and that the baby leaped in Elizabeth's womb at the
greeting of Mary. Let Your holy Word also work in and among us, that we may
always remain earnestly, vigorously, and willingly obedient and subject to You
in matters of faith. Defend us against and steer away, through Your Holy
Spirit, all sloth, unwillingness, doubt, and impatience, by which we are so
often tarried and hindered in what is good. Make us meek to handle and
comprehend Your Word with joy, that what You have fatherly promised to us may
be brought to completion. Amen.
