Prayer from Luke 1:46-55

Today, I pray with Mary...

“My soul glorifies the Lord

47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49     for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
    holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
    but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors.”

Prayer from Luke 1:68-79

 Heavenly Father, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them. 69  He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David 70  (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), 71  salvation from our enemies      and from the hand of all who hate us— 72  to show mercy to our ancestors      and to remember his holy covenant, 73       the oath he swore to our father Abraham: 74  to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,      and to enable us to serve him without fear     in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
