THE CANTICLE OF MARY
THE MAGNIFICAT
LUKE 1:46-55
†
†
LATIN
Magnificat anima mea Dominum,
et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo
salvatore meo,
quia respexit humilitatem ancillæ suæ.
Ecce enim ex hoc beatam
me dicent omnes generationes,
qui fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericordia eius in progenies
et progenies timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo,
dispersit superbos
mente cordi sui;
deposuit potentes de sede
et exultavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis
et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum,
recordatus misericordiæ,
sicut locutus est ad patres nostros,
Abraham et semini eius in sæcula.
†
Gloria Patri,
et Filio,
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculorum.
Amen.

ENGLISH
My soul glorifies the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God,
my Saviour.
He looks on his servant
in her lowliness;
henceforth all generations
will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me
Holy his name!
His mercy is from age to age,
on those who fear him.
He puts forth his arm in strength
and scatters the proud-hearted.
He casts the mighty from their thrones
and raises the lowly.
He fills the starving with good things,
sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel, his servant,
remembering his mercy,
the mercy promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his sons for ever.
†
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
