Luke 1: 46-56
46The Canticle of Mary. And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
47my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
48For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.
49The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.
51He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart.
52He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly.
53The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty.
54He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy,
55according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”
56Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home. The Birth of John.
