Feast of the Visitation
Magnificat
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.
My spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For you have looked with favor on your lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blest:
You, the Almighty, have done great things for me
And holy is your name.
You have mercy on those who fear you,
from generation to generation.
You have shown strength with your arm
And scattered the proud in their schemes.
Casting down the mighty from their thrones
And lifting up the lowly,
You have filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
You have come to the aid of your servant Israel,
To remember the promise of mercy,
The promise made to our ancestors,
To Abraham, Sarah, and their children forever.
Amen.
