Magnificat
Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we turn to you, O Virgins of virgins, our Mother. To you do we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, do not despise our petitions, but in you mercy hear and answer us.
Amen.
The Angelus
The Angel spoke God's message Mary.
And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
[Hail Mary...]
I am the lowly servant of the Lord.
Let it done to me according to your word.
[Hail Mary...]
And the Word became flesh.
And lived among us.
[Hail Mary...]
Pray for us, holy Mother of God.
That we may become worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Lord, fill our hearts with your grace: once, through the message of an angel you revealed to us the incarnation of your Son; now, through his suffering and death lead us to the glory of his resurrection. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;
Because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid;
for, behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed;
Because He who is mighty has done great things for me,
and Holy is His name.
And His mercy is from generation to generation
on those who fear Him.
He has shown might with His arm,
He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He has put down the mighty
from their thrones and has exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich He has sent away empty.
He has given help to Israel his servant,
mindful of His mercy
Even as He spoke to our fathers
to Abraham and to His posterity forever.
Amen.
