Our Lady of Guadalupe with Juan Diego
Today we join Mary saying: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior, while praying with Preface II of the Blessed Virgin Mary, entitled, 'The Church Praises God with the Words of Mary'.
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
to praise your mighty deeds in the exaltation of all the Saints,
and especially, as we celebrate the memory of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
to proclaim your kindness as we echo her thankful hymn of praise.
For truly even to earth's ends you have done great things
and extended your abundant mercy from age to age:
when you looked on the lowliness of your handmaid,
you gave us through her the author of salvation,
your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Through him the host of Angels adores your majesty
and rejoices in your presence for ever,
May our voices, we pray, join with theirs
in one chorus of exultant praise, as we acclaim: Holy …
MARANA THA! COME, LORD, JESUS!
Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
YOU ARE THE HIGHEST HONOR OF OUR RACE.
(Jdt 15:9d)
