Magnificat - The canticle of Mary
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rrejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favour on his lowly servant....
From this day all generations will called me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name ....
He has morcy 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 has has senty 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 forever....
