canticle of mary
Ant. The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, *my spirit rejoices in God my Saviorfor 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 has remembered his promise of mercy,the promise he made to our fathers, *to Abraham and his children for ever.Glory be . . .
