The Magnificat - Mary's song

This is the song of Mary the mother of Jesus upon visiting her cousin Elizabeth with news of her pregnancy.
Mary's pregnancy was a miracle,
A miracle that changed the world,
A miracle whose happening meant that
everything would never be the same again.
A Blessed miracle.
A miracle indeed.

My soul magnifies you, my Lord,

and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,

for you have looked with favour

on the lowliness of your servant.

You, the Mighty One, have done great things for me,

and holy is your name.

Your mercy is for those who fear you

from generation to generation.

You have scattered the proud in the thoughts

of their hearts.

You have brought down the powerful from their thrones,

and lifted up the lowly.

You have filled the hungry with good things,

and sent the rich away empty.

Based on Luke, chapter 1.

The twenty third Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul:
he leads me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for You are with me,
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies:
You annoint my head with oil;
my cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

You want a miracle?

To receive a miracle:

Believe in the miracle,

Ask for the miracle,

Expect the miracle.

It's that simple.
