P. The chastisement of our sins was upon him.
F. For by his stripes we were healed.
Antiphon
P. Our Shepherd, the fountain of living water, is gone, for he laid down his life for his sheep and vouchsafed to die for his flock.
The Magnificat
(St. Luke I. 46-55)
My soul * doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Savior.
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me: * and holy is his name.
And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him.
He hath shown might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble.
