"Mary then said:" My soul exalts the Lord, my spirit exults in God, my Savior! He leaned over his humble servant; henceforth all ages will call me blessed. The Almighty has done wonders for me; Holy is his name! His mercy extends from age to age on those who fear him. Deploying the strength of his arm, he disperses the superb ones. He overthrows the mighty from their thrones, he lifts up the humble. He fills the hungry with good things, sends the rich away empty-handed. He raises up Israel his servant, he remembers his love, the promise made to our fathers, on behalf of Abraham and his descendants forever. "
