The Feast of the Visitation

The Visitation. JJ Tissot. Brooklyn Museum.

Quo impraegnata citius
cognatam visitasti:
Ioannemque celeriter
in ventre sanctificasti. Ave Maria.

Thou great with Him, forthwith didst haste
     To give thy cousin greeting;
He the unborn John inspired and blest
     At that most hallowed meeting. Hail Mary.

Totus tuus ego sum et omnia mea tua sunt.

Tecum tutus semper sum.

Ad Jesum per Mariam

The Magnificat. JJ Tissot.

Magníficat ☩ (Large sign of the cross) * ánima mea Dóminum.
My soul ☩ * doth magnify the Lord.

Et exsultávit spíritus meus: * in Deo, salutári meo.
And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Saviour.

Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: * ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes.
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

Quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est: * et sanctum nomen ejus.
Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; * and holy is his name.

Et misericórdia ejus, a progénie in progénies: * timéntibus eum.
And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him.

Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo: * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui.
He hath shewed might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.

Depósuit poténtes de sede: * et exaltávit húmiles.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble.

Esuriéntes implévit bonis: * et dívites dimísit inánes.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away.

Suscépit Israël púerum suum: * recordátus misericórdiæ suæ.
He hath received Israel his servant, * being mindful of his mercy:

Sicut locútus est ad patres nostros: * Ábraham, et sémini ejus in sæcula.
As he spoke to our fathers, * to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

R. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Totus tuus ego sum et omnia mea tua sunt.

Tecum tutus semper sum.

Ad Jesum per Mariam
