The Magnificat
Peter Fournier and Catherine Fournier
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 away empty.
He has come to the aid 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.
