Magnificat
My soul proclaims your greatness, O my God,
and my spirit has rejoiced in you, my Saviour,
For your regard has blessed me,
poor and a serving woman.
From this day all generations
will call me blessed,
For you, who are mighty, have made me great,
most Holy be your Name.
Your mercy is on those who fear you
throughout all generations.
You have showed strength with your arm,
you have scattered the proud in their heart’s fantasy.
You have put down the mighty from their seat
and have lifted up the powerless.
You have filled the hungry with good things
and have sent the rich away empty.
You, remembering your mercy, have helped your people Israel,
as you promised Abraham and his descendants forever.
Novena to Marguerite Bourgeoys
O Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys,
who by your deep and lively faith in God
received so many favours from Heaven,
obtain for me an increase of faith
and the grace which I so greatly need.
3 Glory…
O Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys,
grant that like you
I may place all my trust in Jesus my Saviour,
in order that, through your intercession,
I may obtain the grace which I so ardently desire.
3 Glory…
O Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys,
consoler of the poor and of the sick,
obtain for me a great love for God
and an ardent devotion toward the Mother of the Saviour,
in order that I may obtain the favour which I implore.
3 Glory… |
