The Magnificat

The Teams of Our Lady have chosen the Blessed Mother to be their patron and guide. 
Her canticle of joy, the Magnificat, is the daily prayer of the Teams.

 
THE MAGNIFICAT
 
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
    and my spirit exalts in God my Savior;
    because he has looked upon His lowly handmaid. 
Yes, from this day forward
   all generations will call me blessed,
   for the Almighty has done great things for me.
Holy is His Name,
   and His mercy reaches from age to age
   for those who fear Him.
He has shown the power of his arm,
   He has routed the proud of heart.
He has pulled down princes from their thrones
   and exalted the lowly. 
The hungry He has filled with good things,
   
the rich sent empty away.
He has come to the help of Israel, His servant,
   mindful of His mercy --
   according to the promise He made
   to our ancestors --
   of His mercy to Abraham
   and to His descendants forever.
 
Our Lady, Queen of Teams, Pray for us!
 
In the Magnificat, we pray with Mary rather than to her.  With her, we praise and "magnify the Lord" for all the wonders He has done.  She reminds us that God, faithful to His promise, constantly helps and protects His people.  All Teams worldwide say this prayer daily to spiritually support each other and to ask God's blessings on the Movement.

Whenever Team members gather, they use this canticle of Mary to bring their meeting to a close.
