My Magnificat

My Magnificat


By Sister Charlotte Sonneville, OSB

My soul is filled with the glory of God, 
As I listen with the ear of my heart 
To God’s great glory, wisdom and knowledge 
Echoed in all of nature. 

Each step sings out “I praise you, 
I love you, I glorify you!"

With all my being, 
The chickadee’s challenge to all of nature 
To “PRAISE GOD” with every joyous breath. 

You, Lord, have looked upon my lowliness 
And invited me to join you in the dance of life, 
Praising God for the gift of music, song and movement. 

May each day be a reawakening 
To love, life and peace, 
Following in the footsteps of our blessed Lord 
Who died to set us free. 

Thank You!

Writing your own Magnificat is a wonderful way to explore and express your gratitude. I hope in reading mine you're inspired to create one, too!
