Morning prayer on this Feast of the Visitation: Holy One, I lift my heart before You and amplify the proclamation of your glory. May I proclaim your greatness, O God, from the depths of my soul with a shout of joy and victory. May I give thanks, Lord, for your manifold blessings and great mercy that maintain my life and my spirit. Your love, O Almighty One, forever will I sing joining the chorus of generations in praise. May I walk in paths of justice and mercy that my life may testify to the power of the Holy One. For You, O Sustainer, call us to stand alongside the oppressed and fill the hungry with good things. You, O Mighty One, cast down the oppressor and scatter the schemes of the powerful. You, O Savior, have lifted up the humble and exalted the ordinary, but chasten the tyrants and call them to justice. Your promises are our foundation and hope, O God: we appeal to You in trust and faith as we pray. Amen. #visitationofmary #dailyoffice #morningprayer #jesusmovement #magnificat #marymotherofgod #loveheals #thistlefarms #lightacandle
