What is Magnificat?
MAGNIFICAT is a Ministry to Catholic women. Its purpose is to help Catholic women to open more to the Holy Spirit through a deeper commitment of their lives to Jesus as Lord and to impart the Holy Spirit to one another by their love, service and sharing the good news of salvation. It thus provides opportunities for Catholic evangelization
MAGNIFICAT is a Ministry to Catholic women. Its purpose is to help Catholic women to open more to the Holy Spirit through a deeper commitment of their lives to Jesus as Lord and to impart the Holy Spirit to one another by their love, service and sharing the good news of salvation. It thus provides opportunities for Catholic evangelization while fostering a desire to grow in holiness.
The words of the Magnificat recorded in Luke 1:46 are the beginning of Mary’s response to Elizabeth’s joyful greeting. The entire scene of the Visitation is the inspiration for this ministry, which adopts the name of Mary’s hymn of praise and the spirit of this Biblical encounter as its own. Following the example of Mary and Elizabeth, this woman-to-woman ministry within the Catholic Church, attempts to generate a lively faith in God and His action in our lives along with a love for Mary and the Church.
