Ping!
My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.
Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.
Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Catholic Ping!
A moving prayerful devotion which I never tire of seeing.
Thanks:)
Thanks so very much! This is wonderful!
Ah, what Chesterton could do on a forum such as this.
LOL! Like talk the socks off some people?
More than fair -- he's charitable.
Bump.
Chuckle.....
Also, as one FReeper said to me, Chesterton did not suffer fools gladly.
Not much I'm thinkin'...Not as long as you have Bible Believers on one side while you have Catholics on the other...Chesterton's machinations do not trump the scriptures...
LOL
Catholics ARE Bible believers, as well as Bible compilers. Chesterton would’ve been an admirable addition to this board, all the way around.
“I want it to be what the Protestants are perfectly right in calling it; the badge and sign of a Papist. “
That’s not what they call it. Mariolatry is the term.
I remember Archbishop Fulton Sheen once saying to a woman, who complained that the Rosary is a redundant prayer, in one of his speeches, "How often do you say I love you to your husband?" "Is that redundant?"
I keep that in mind always.
Blessings to you on this month of Marian devotion.
Amen!!
Amen!!
Mariolatry? care to define this term?
Yawn.
See post #10.
Last night the kids of our church said a living rosary.
Afterwards we gathered for cookies and punch.
What a marvelous uplifting of hearts and minds in prayer.
I think the story you relate with Archbishop Sheen occurred on a plane ride. The woman was in the seat next to him and commented because he was praying the rosary.
Chesterton would have been an admirer Sheen.
