All * whom the Father has given me shall come to me: and he who comes to me, I will in no way cast out.
The Song of Mary Magnificat
Luke 1:46-55
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; *
for he has looked with favor on his lowly 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 lowly.
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.
Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord
And let light perpetual shine upon them.
All * whom the Father has given me shall come to me: and he who comes to me, I will in no way cast out.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.
V: Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul!
R. I will praise the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
V: Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth,
R. for there is no help in them.
V: When they breathe their last, they return to earth,
R. and in that day their thoughts perish.
V: Happy are they who have the God of Jacob for their help!
R. whose hope is in the LORD their God;
V: Who made heaven and earth, the seas, and all that is in them;
R. who keeps his promise for ever;
V: Who gives justice to those who are oppressed,
R. and food to those who hunger.
V: The LORD sets the prisoners free; the LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
R. the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down;
V: The LORD loves the righteous; the LORD cares for the stranger;
R. he sustains the orphan and widow, but frustrates the way of the wicked.
V: The LORD shall reign for ever,
R. your God, O Zion, throughout all generations. Hallelujah!
Eternal Lord God, you hold all souls in life: Give to your whole Church in paradise and on earth your light and your peace; and grant that we, following the good examples of those who have served you here and are now at rest, may at the last enter with them into your unending joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
