Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold, from henceforth all gener- ations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty hath done great things t.o me: and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto genera- tion, to them that fear him. He hath showed might in his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, 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 mind- ful of his mercy. As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, i3 now, and ever shall be, world without end. — Amen. Imprimatur *> WILLIAM CARDINAL O'CONNELL , Archbishop of Boston October 3rd, 1921
