The Magnificat
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and 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 the rich he has sent away empty.
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.
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our
sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor
banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up
our sights, mourning and weeping in this valley of
tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine
eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus,
O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.
THE MEMORARE PRAYER FOR HELP FROM
OUR BLESSED MOTHER
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that
never was it known that anyone who fled to thy
protection, implored thy help, or sought thy
intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this
confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my
Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word
Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy
mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
V. Pray for our parish Holy Mother of God,
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of
Christ
"The Virgin Mary, who at the message of the angel
received the word of God in her heart and in her body,
gave Life to the world, is acknowledged and honored as
being truly the Mother of God and of the redeemer."
(Vatican Council II: #53 Lumen Gentium).
As Catholics we don't worship Mary, we venerate her
because she is the Mother of the Redeemer-the Godbearer (theo-tokos, in Greek). She, just like everyone
else, worshipped God Himself and received a savior (see
Lk. 1:46ff). This model of faith and spirituality is given by
God to help us become more holy and belong to a
family of Faith.
To God alone is due worship. To the saints we give
veneration, esteem, and to the Virgin Mary we may give
much esteem.
Jesus Christ Himself obeyed God's commandments by
honoring His earthly mother and His foster father,
Joseph (thus fulfilling the Third Commandment: honor
thy father and mother)-if He did, why not us?! This is
extraordinary in its ordinariness!
She is the first and perfect disciple: Since Christ made a
dwelling in her body, she literally bore Him to the world,
after saying 'Yes" to the angel's invitation, and then
embracing discipleship, she nurtured, for thirty years
the young Child- and Man-Jesus, and then followed Him
in His teachings-all the way to the Crucifixion: from
beginning to end she was faithful. One of the reasons
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton became a Catholic (in addition
to the Holy Eucharist) was the Church's beautiful,
venerable devotion to Jesus' Mother, Mary.

Remember these simple, essential facts: Mary herself
loves, serves and worships God …She is the Mother of
God…Our Lady can lead us to God, deeper holiness and
discipleship…The Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated, not
worshipped…The splendid Virgin wants us to become
just like her-immaculate, and bearers of God….
