ABSTRACT: The Magnificat & The Sacraments The Magnificat is a prayer of gratitude for the Eucharist, a prayer of thanks for The Sacrament of Thanksgiving. From the very first moment of my Immaculate Conception, and therefore no less so at the moment of the Incarnation and thenceforth, at this moment, henceforth and forever: MY SOUL DOTH MAGNIFY THE LORD I am in most Holy Communion with Infinite Truth and Good and Loving Suffering, and therefore Immersed in Him as Is He in me-mutually Aware and in Love and Compassionate Infinitely. AND MY SPIRIT REJOICES IN GOD MY SAVIOR In most Holy Communion with Him, I am ordered to Him as Is He to me in the Great Holy Ordering of God to man and man to God in of and through me; Aware of Him and in Love with Him and Compassionate with Him-I rejoice in Him. BECAUSE HE HATH REGARDED THE HUMILITY THE LOWLINESS OF HIS HANDMAID In most Holy Communion with Him, His regard, His mere glance, elevates and Reconciles Israel, the Church, Myself, to Himself. FOR BEHOLD, FROM HENCEFORTH ALL GENERATIONS SHALL CALL ME BLESSED In most Holy Communion with Him, even as He Is Anointed with my humanity, I am anointed with His Divinity, not only as heir to His kingdom but as His Queen-the Blessed Mother of the Blessed Sacrament-the Matter, the Mater, of God. FOR HE THAT IS MIGHTY HATH DONE GREAT THINGS [IN] ME In most Holy Communion with Him, I am Confirmed in Him and He in me; for without the Immaculate Conception there would be no Incarnation, and without the Incarnation there would be no Immaculate Conception. These Great Things are We, and these great things has he done in me: preparation to receive Him and the reception of Him. At my Immaculate Conception I receive Him spiritually and physically, at the Incarnation physically and spiritually. AND HOLY IS HIS NAME I am in most Holy Communion with The Only Holy One, in my Matrimony or motherhood, “and you shall call His Name ‘Jesus’ . . .”--a Most Holy Communion in a most special Motherhood--in a mutual intentional union with my Son infinitely exalted over that of all other mothers; from my Conception I am the Matter, the Mater, of God. HIS MERCY IS FROM GENERATION UNTO GENERATIONS TO THEM THAT FEAR HIM His Divine Mercy is made available to us, among His infinite special ways, especially through the Sacrament of Baptism, the Water from His Side, and the Blessed Sacrament, the Blood from His Side-with Whom all the redeemed are aspersed. HE HATH SHOWN MIGHT IN HIS ARM; HE HATH SCATTERED THE PROUD IN THE CONCEIT OF THEIR HEARTS Many are those who reject the Great Holy Ordering of God to man and man to God through me, through the Sacraments, and through my priest sons; especially those who reject the Holy Eucharist and Its proper confection, those who are too proud to prepare themselves to receive It by means of that sacrament of reconciliation known as Penance, and those who would avoid the prospect of sacrificial love and who would flee from every Cross. HE HATH [PUT DOWN] BROUGHT THE MIGHTY THE PROUD FROM THEIR SEAT AND HATH EXALTED THE LOWLY THE HUMBLE Justification is made available to you and brought about especially through that sacrament of reconciliation known as Penance. Indeed, upon humble participation in the sacrament of Penance one is prepared better to receive Him in the Blessed Sacrament Who comes down from His Seat to meet you with all solicitude along the Way of the Cross toward Holy Communion with Him. HE HATH FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS, AND THE RICH HE HATH SENT EMPTY AWAY The glutted who have never embraced their need for the Blessed Sacrament, or who are too full of themselves to make room for the Bread of Life, shall have no life in them but an empty death. The hungry that have emptied themselves, the elect, the chosen and the Anointed heirs of the Kingdom, those who have been filled throughout life with The Blessed Sacrament, with the Good Things, The Body-Blood-Soul-Divinity, shall be filled at the moment of death with that selfsame Sacrament as Viaticum--food for the journey. HE HATH RECEIVED ISRAEL, BEING MINDFUL OF HIS MERCY Mercifully recalling the promises of Eden, His Divine Word given and kept, especially as one is given to cooperate by nature in His Grace, He Confirms us in those promises that He makes, and you in those that you made or that were made for you at the baptismal font, so that in Holy Communion those who receive Him do so all the more nearly worthily--receiving The One Who receives best and Who protects and facilitates His chosen with His Sevens of Perfection, those elect who are His Israel, ever struggling and prevailing relative to His high standard of Absolute Love of God and of neighbor. AS HE SPOKE TO OUR FATHERS, TO ABRAHAM AND TO HIS SEED FOREVER He communicated the Word, The Seed Forever, to the fathers merely in figures and analogous terms, but to me, the Mother of the Word, infinitely more receptive than the fathers, He communicates Himself univocally in that special Holy Communion to be found only in that special Matrimony or motherhood in that mutual intentional union or most Holy Communion of Mother and Son-even as it is incipient at the moment of my Immaculate Conception. Similarly, would He unite with His chosen in Most Holy mutual intentional union or Most Holy Communion. “I am the mother of Fair Love, and of Fear, and of Knowledge, and of Holy Hope. In me Is all grace of the Way and of the Truth, in me Is all hope of Life and virtue. Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my Fruits. For my Spirit Is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honeycomb. My memory Is unto everlasting generations. They that eat of me, shall yet hunger [for my Son]: and they that drink of me shall yet thirst [for Him]. He that hearkens to me shall not be confounded: and they that work by me shall not sin. They that explain me shall have Life everlasting.” Ecclesiasticus 24: 24-31.

Thank You so very much for doing this detailed video!! MIGHTY blessings alllways

The key (or source) to the Magnificat is in found in 1 Samuel 2 and the prayer of Hannah. Hannah's story is one of deliverance from her fear of barrenness (hopelessness) through faith in the Lord's anointed (1 Samuel 2:10) (God's salvation). This is fulfilled in Christ as the true and pure David and it is why Mary's prayer is basically the same (thematically) as Hannah's if you read them side by side. The Magnificat is the bookend to Hannah's prophetic prayer. I had to study 1 Samuel 2 this week so I found this pretty interesting.

I've been given twice now this to contemplate on, and was trying to decipher it, which I was having trouble with. But, this video gives a direction to go with to do that more 'with a clue' or a guide. Thank you, RT!

Aloe!, is great to hear some answers about, I thought that was , the correct term to write :Magnificant Anima mea, but I found that the correct way to say is Magnificat Anima mea Dominium(my soul magnifies the Lord, in the Galaxy we are!, and also in English commonly named Milky Way, in Spanish Vía Láctea and same in Latin,do you know the origin of the latin?

I think I say the Magnificat and I think it reminds of the canticle of Hannah.

Although I do not much disagree with the content, I wonder if you are giving us the MEANING of the Magnificat here. More an extrapolation in form of Message or small homily, I'd say. A lesson. e.g. Mercy God gives his mercy uniquely to those who FEAR Him. This seems to clash with Jesus's ideas of loving God and loving one's fellow-man. Mercy and forgiveness. I John 1:9 seems to say that Jesus by his Death assures our forgiveness. But only if we confess. Did Mary go to confession? Did Jesus have his sins washed away in the river Jordan?

What about the part where Mary also said "and my Spirit rejoices in God My Saviour" Mary is telling us that She needed a Saviour too!!

"go make disciples God bless" it reminds me I need to pay my phone bill another invoice is coming jajaja 😜 can you make disciples when we have debts? God wants repentance from sin first is called the liberation of covid the holy spirit makes disciples not us. How can sinners make disciples?

The Cenacle At this point it is appropriate to turn for a moment to yet another notion concerning the proper reception or intention of this Great Treasure Who Is our Eucharist. Now, the symbolism of the Last Supper in the Upper Room or Cenacle suggests that we are not merely to approach the Eucharist like an animal only, that we are not merely to see with the fleshy eye or taste with the tongue and palate only, merely intending and digesting. Indeed, neither can we be guided to the Substance of the Eucharist merely by sensory cognitive and appetitive powers nor by emotionalism. In no way can we become one with God and man in Holy Communion merely through the operations of the merely vegetative and the merely animal lower stories of the human soul, but only by means of the spiritual operations of the Upper Story or Cenacle of our human souls are we guided to All in the Eucharist that Is Suprasensible and Spiritual. Precisely in this way does the soul or anima of Mary Immaculate magnify the Lord, in that it is a human soul. By nature, a human soul is designed by God infinitely empty of truth and of good, that it might be filled infinitely by the All Truth and All Good that Is He, upon the fulfillment of its human destiny. This He does for Her from the very first moment of Her Immaculate Conception. For from that very first moment of Her human existence He fills Her otherwise infinite emptiness with His Infinite Truth and Good. Hence She is conceived full of grace, confirmed in it, and impeccable. Christ does this by applying to Her through all Eternity His Infinite Merits together with Her own ‘foreseen’ Merits. It is precisely the application of these Infinite Merits to Her, together with Her awareness of this Infinite Truth, Her love of this Infinite Good, and Her Compassion with His Infinite Passion, that in Her God Is magnified as Almighty. Indeed, in this way does He prepare Her to receive Him in that Blessed Sacrament that Is the Incarnation. Indeed, it is with the Cenacle, or the Upper Room or Upper Story of Her soul, it is precisely through the spiritual operations of Her heart and of Her mind, hence with the Spirit of Her anima, that She must be said to rejoice in God Her Savior. Again, the Cenacle is that Upper Room or top story wherein Christ and His disciples celebrate the Last Supper, the Ultimate Supper, their First Eucharist. The word cenacle comes to us from the Latin word cenaculum, meaning ‘dining room.’ It is derived from the Latin word cena, which means ‘portion of food.’ The term generally refers to a mid-day meal, afternoon meal, dinner or supper. Now, there are but two ways of making something part of ourselves: either by knowing it or by eating it, or by otherwise intending it physically. So it is that we can make something part of ourselves either by knowing it in a merely material sensory cognitive appetitive way or by eating that object as do the brutes, or by knowing and desiring that object in a truly spiritual way by means of intellectual cognition and volition, as do the Angels.

Reeeeee

All white saints, all white popes.

Thank you
