The Magnificat

Miles Jesu members are encouraged to say this prayer after Communion

Leader
Who is She that comes forth as the morning rising,
fair as the moon, bright as the sun,
terrible as an army set in battle array?

Group A
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
And my spirit exults in God my Savior.

Group B
Because He has looked upon His lowly handmaid,
Yes, from this day forward
all generations will call me blessed.

Group A
For the Almighty has done great things for me
Holy is His name.

Group B
And His mercy reaches from age to age
for those who fear Him.

Group A
He has sown the power of His arm,
He has routed the proud of heart.

Group B
He has pulled down princes from their thrones
and exalted the lowly.

Group A
The hungry He has filled with good things
and the rich sent empty away.

Group B
He has come to help of Israel His servant
mindful of His mercy.

Group A
According to the promise He made to our ancestors
of His mercy to Abraham and to his descendants forever.

Leader
Who is She that comes forth as the morning rising,
fair as the moon, bright as the sun,
terrible as an army set in battle array?

(there should be some minutes of silence)
