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 doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
Because He hath regarded the humility of His slave:
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 generations, to them that fear Him.
He hath shewed 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 for ever.
