Song
of Mary
My
soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my
spirit rejoices in God my Saviour; for
he has looked with favour 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 for ever. Amen. |
