The Canticle of the Blessed Virgin Mary
My soul doth magnify the Lord; And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For He hath regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For 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 showed might with 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 lowly.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He hath sent empty away.
He hath given help to His servant Israel, being mindful of His mercy.
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.
Magnificat
Magnificat anima mea Dominum.
Et exultavit Spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suæ; ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna Qui potens est; et sanctum nomen Ejus.
Et misericordia Ejus a progenie in progenies, timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo; dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis: et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum Suum; recordatus misericordiæ Suæ.
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham, et semini ejus in sæcula.
