Today we celebrate yet another beautiful feast of Our Lady, the Feast of the Visitation.
It was at this meeting between Mary and her cousin Elizabeth that Mary first proclaimed her wonderful hymn of joy, 'The Magnificat'.
As members of Teams of Our Lady, we close our monthly meetings by praying the Magnificat together and we are also encouraged to pray the Magnificat daily at home.
It always causes a smile as we rummage for our prayer cards at the end of our meetings and someone nearly always comments, 'surely we don't need prayer cards, we must know it by heart by now!'
True enough, but I've lost count of the number of different translations I've come across over the years. Now, I often use my iPhone Apps (iBreviary, RC Calendar, Divine Office) for Evening Prayer when I don't have my breviary to hand, I've discovered yet more variations!
Here's a beautiful musical rendition which I hope you'll enjoy.
