Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. (John 16:26-27)
The Magnificat - Luke 1:46 - 55
46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
51 He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

O
Most Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of the
most holy Rosary, you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima
and reveal a glorious message. We implore you, inspire in our hearts a

mysteries of the redemption that are recalled therein may we obtain the
graces and virtues that we ask, through the merits of Jesus Christ, our
Lord and Redeemer.
