Magnificat

 

 

 

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,

for he has looked with favour on his humble 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 humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help 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.



Regina Coeli

 

 

 

Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia.
For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia.

Has risen, as he said, alleluia.
Pray for us to God, alleluia.

Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.

Let us pray.
O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
grant we beseech Thee,
that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary,
His Mother,
we may obtain the joys of everlasting life.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.



Salve Regina

 

 

Hail, holy Queen,

Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope.

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.

To thee to we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

 

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

 

Let us pray.

Almighty and everlasting God,

Who by the working of the Holy Spirit

didst prepare both body and soul of the glorious Virgin Mother, Mary,

that she might deserve to be made a worthy dwelling for Thy Son,

grant that we who rejoice in her memory,

may, by her loving intercession,

be delivered from present evils and from lasting death,

through the same Christ our Lord.

Amen.
