The Catena Legionis

The Catena Legionis

Antiphon. Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?

My soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour.  He looks on his servant in her lowliness; henceforth all ages will call me blessed.

The Almighty works marvels for me.

Holy is his name!

His mercy is from age to age, on those who fear him.

He puts forth his arm in strength and scatters the

proud-hearted. He casts the mighty from their thrones and raises the lowly.

He fills the starving with good things, sends 

the rich away empty.

He protects Israel, his servant,

remembering his mercy,

the mercy promised to our fathers,

to Abraham and his sons forever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end, Amen.

Antiphon. Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?

V.   O Mary, conceived without sin

R.   Pray for us who have recourse to you.

Let Us Pray

O Lord Jesus Christ, our mediator with the Father, you have been pleased to appoint the most Blessed Virgin, your mother, to be our mother also, and our mediatrix with you, mercifully grant that whoever comes to you, seeking your favours may rejoice to receive all of them through her. Amen
