Gracious God and Loving Father, King of the Universe, “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant. The Mighty One has done great things for us — holy is His name! His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” Lord, thank you for this beautiful prayer from Mary. Write this prayer on our hearts, that we might be imitators of this kind of humility. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
