GOP Gospel: Magnificat

Day 6 of my Lent project. For background, please read this.

Continuing the Christmas story, Mary goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth, whose unborn child leaps at her approach.

And Mary said,

"My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
For in the fruit of my womb,
He has exalted me above all women.
Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
For the Mighty One has done great things for me,
And holy is his name.
His love is for those who praise him from generation to generation.
He has shown great strength with his arm;
He has lifted the pious in the confidence of their hearts.
He has rewarded them with positions of power,
And held back the undeserving.
He has satisfied the desires of his faithful,
And deprived those who displease him.
He has glorified his chosen Nation,
In remembrance of its righteousness,
According to the promise made to the Pilgrim Fathers,
And to George and the Presidents thereafter."

( Luke 1:46-55 )
