For the Preservation of the Deposit of the Faith

For the Kingdom of God to come!

MAGNIFICAT

The particular goal of the Order of the Magnificat of the Mother of God is the preservation of the Deposit of the Faith by religious teaching in all its forms. God has established it as “a rampart against the almost general apostasy” that has invaded Christianity and in particular the Roman Church.

The Angelus

“Angelus” or prayer of the Angel. This prayer, which the Church recites three times a day, commemorates the mission of the Archangel Gabriel sent by God the Father to the Virgin Mary to announce the great news: God comes to become man and Mary is chosen to be His Mother!
V/ The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. R/ And She conceived of the Holy Ghost. Hail Mary, etc. V/ Behold the handmaid of the Lord. R/ Be it done unto Me according to Thy word. Hail Mary, etc. V/ And the Word was made flesh. R/ And dwelt among us. Hail Mary, etc. V/ Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R/ That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an Angel, may, by His passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. R/ Amen

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
