ADVENTUS, ANNO DOMINI NOSTRI JESU CHRISTI MMXXII
Magnificat anima mea Dominum;Â
Et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo,Â
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae; ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.Â
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est, et sanctum nomen ejus, Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.Â
Fecit potentiam brachio suo;Â
Dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.Â
Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles.Â
Esurientes implevit bonis, et divites dimisit inanes.Â
Sucepit Israel, puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae, Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semeni ejus in saecula.
And Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,Â
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
Because he has regarded the humility of his handmaid, behold:Â
from this day all generations will call me blessed.Â
The Almighty has done great things to me,Â
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.Â
He has shown the might of his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the conceit of their hearts.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,Â
and has exalted the humble.Â
He has filled the hungry with good things,Â
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has received Israel his servant,
being mindful of his mercy.
As he spoke to our fathers:Â
to Abraham and his children, forever.
(Lk 1: 46-55)
