MAGNIFICAT (CANTENA LEGIONIS): Antiphon: Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array? My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid: for behold, from henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed. For He that is mighty hath done great things to me, and holy is His Name. And His Mercy is from generation unto generations to them that fear Him. He hath showed might in His arm: He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel His servant, being mindful of His Mercy. As He spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed forever. 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. Antiphon: Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?

Amen. |
