Antiphon O King of the nations, and their desire, Readings 1 Samuel 1.24-28 | The Song of Hannah (APBA, p. 429) | Luke 1.46-58 | Magnificat
I am God’s magnifying glass. I am a worm and no man, but blessed. God of might, God of holiness, God of mercy. The poor on the cliff at the chasm, looking down into the flames. Prayer Our souls proclaim your greatness, O Lord, and we rejoice; for you have looked with favour on us, your servants; you do great things for your us, and through the Holy Spirit and Mary you give us the gift of your Son. Holy is your name. Amen. |
