Fruit of the mystery: Love of neighbor
The Magnificat
Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
Luke 1:46–50, World English Bible, Catholic Edition
