The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 1:46-55

Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in

God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his

servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call 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 for ever.’
