Song of Mary (Lk 1:47-55, ICEL)                                                   Daily Evening Canticle

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, * my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

for he has looked with favour on his lowly servant * and from this day all generations will call me blessed.

      The Almighty has done great things for me: * 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 sent the rich away empty-handed.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel, * for he remembered his promise of mercy,

the promise he made to our fathers, * to Abraham and his children forever.
