Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum. Fecit potentiam bracchio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles, Verso leaf: Esurientes implevit bonis, et divites dimisit inanes. Suscepit Israel, servum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae. Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, erga Abraham et semen eius in saecula. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum. Amen, Ave sancta maria succurre miseris iuva pusillanimes refove flebiles ora pro populo interveni pro clero intercede pro devoto femineo sexu. Domine exaudi orationem meam. Et clamor meus ad te veniat. Oremus
