The Canticle of Mary
My soul proclaims the greatness of
the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God, my
savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy
is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him in every
generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm, he has
scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast
down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted
up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and the
rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he
has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he
made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for
ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will
be forever. Amen. |
