Prayer

The Magnificat prayer

My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
for he has looked with favour on the
lowliness of his servant.
Surely, from now on all generations will called me blessed;
for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
His mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
He has brought down the powerful from their thrones
and lifted up the lowly;
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
according to the promise he made to
our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever. Amen


Hail, Mary, Daughter of God the Father;

Hail, Mary, Mother of God the Son;

Hail, Mary, Spouse of the Holy Ghost;

Hail, Mary, Temple of the most Holy Trinity;

Hail, Mary, my Mistress, my treasure, my joy, Queen of my heart;

my Mother, my life, my sweetness, my dearest hope & & yea, my heart and my soul!

I am all thine and all that I have is Thine, O Virgin blessed above all things!

Let thy soul be in me to magnify the Lord; let thy spirit be in me to rejoice in God.

Set thyself, O faithful Virgin, as a seal upon my heart,

that in thee and through thee I may be found faithful to God.

Receive me, O gracious Virgin, among those whom thou lovest and teachest,

whom thou leadest, nourishest and protectest as thy children.

Grant that for love of thee I may despise all earthly consolations and ever cling to those of Heaven until,

through thee, His faithful spouse, Jesus Christ thy Son be formed in me for the glory of the Father.

Amen.
