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 Magnificat

The Magnificat

After receiving the compliments of Her cousin Elizabeth, the Virgin Mary returns all the glory to God through this song, which expresses Her humility and gratitude.
;My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And My spirit hath rejoiced in God My Saviour.
Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid; for, behold, henceforth all generations shall call Me blessed.
Because He who is mighty hath done great things to Me; and holy is His name.
And His mercy is from generation unto generation to those who fear Him.
He hath shown might with His arm, He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their throne, and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent empty away.
He hath received Israel His servant, being mindful of His mercy,
As He promised our Fathers: Abraham and his posterity forever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, and to the Mother of God.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

To prepare us for a good death

We are all on earth only in passing. One day we will die, and we will have to account for our lives to our Creator. Our eternity will be happy or unhappy, depending on whether or not we have realized the purpose of our life on earth, which is to love, know and serve God. The sincere repentance of our sins and the acceptance of God’s Will can atone for a lifetime of sins.

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.
