Canticle of MaryThe 'Canticle of Mary' or 'Magnificat' is sung in the celebration of Evening Prayer each day. The text is taken from the Gospel according to Luke 1:46-55.My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, My spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favour, 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 empty. He has come to the help of his servant lsrael for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his for ever. |
