MAGNIFICAT | CANTICLE OF MARY

MEDITATE ON THE VISITATION AND PROCLAIM THE GREATNESS OF THE LORD, FROM LUKE 1:46-55

MAGNIFICAT

Magníficat ánima méa Dóminum.
Et exultávit spíritus méus: in Déo salutári méo.
Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ súæ:
Ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dícent ómnes generatiónes.
Quia fécit míhi mágna qui pótens est: et sánctum nómen éius.
Et misericórdia éius in progénie in progénies timéntibus éum.
Fécit poténtiam in bráchio súo: dispérsit supérbos ménte córdis súi.
Depósuit poténtes de séde: et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bónis: et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Israël púerum súum: recordátus misericórdiæ súæ.
Sicut locútus est ad pátres nóstros, Ábraham, et sémini éius in sǽcula.

CANTICLE OF MARY

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness;
behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.
The Might One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.
He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart.
He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly.
The hungry he has filled with good things;
the rich he has sent away empty.
He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.

Luke 1:46-55
