Mary's Song

My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my
savior,
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his
servant.
From now on all generations will call
me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great
things for me-
holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear
him,
from generation to generation.
He has performed mighty deeds with
his arm;
he has scattered those who are
proud in their inmost thoughts.
He has brought down rulers from
their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good
things
but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant
Israel;
remembering to be merciful
to Abraham and his descendants
forever,
even as he said to our fathers.
Luke 1:46-55
