Monday of the Fourth Week of Advent
Gospel: Lk 1:46-56

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
For my redeemer, my spirit will praise 
For on his lowly servant he’s adored
To transform all our hearts with love ablaze.

The Almighty has done great things for me,
He grants mercy to those who admire him.
With his power, he sets the captives free,
And the totems of the proud, he will trim.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones
And has lifted up the small and lowly
With joy, He’s replaced their suffering groans,
And the thriving rich will find their folie.

His children will be saved by his mercy,
Full solace to replace controversy.
