 Mary’s Prayer of Thanksgiving

 

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit
finds joy in God my savior, for He has looked upon His
servant in her lowliness; all ages to come shall call me
blessed.

God who is mighty has done great things for me,
holy is
His name;
His mercy is from age to age on those who fear Him.

He has shown might with His arm; He has confused
the proud in their inmost thoughts
.

He has deposed the mighty from their thrones and raised
the lowly to high places.  The hungry He has given every
good thing, while the rich He has sent empty away.

He has upheld Israel His servant, ever mindful of His
mercy; even as He promised our fathers, promised
Abraham and his descendants forever.
