George Leo Haydock, on Luke 1:42

“And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.”

“In the same words she is pronounced blessed by Elizabeth, and by the angel Gabriel, both inspired by the Holy Ghost, and this not only to the praise of Jesus, but for his sake, to the praise of Mary, calling her blessed, and her fruit blessed; and thus, as Ven. Bede asserts, holding her up to the veneration of both men and angels.”
