72 to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us
74 that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, could serve him without fear
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 And so you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go on before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the merciful compassion of our God by which the dawn will visit to help us from on high,
