Magnificat
“And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
"And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
“Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid. For behold
from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
“Because He that is mighty, hath done great things to me, and holy is
His name.
“And His mercy is from generation unto generation, to them that fear
Him.
“He hath showed might in His arm. He hath scattered the proud in the
conceit of their heart.
“He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the
humble.
“He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent
empty away.
“He hath received Israel His servant, being mindful of His mercy.
“As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.”
Lk.1:46-55
