The Magnificat
The Magnificat, Mary’s Song of Praise, is a timeless hymn of humility and gratitude, exalting the greatness of the Lord and His unfailing mercy. Through these sacred words, we join Mary in proclaiming God’s transformative power, His faithfulness to His promises, and His love for the lowly and the just. Let this prayer inspire your heart to trust in God’s providence, magnify His goodness in your life, and seek a deeper union with His divine will.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for He has looked with favor 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 remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Amen.
