Marys Magnificat resounds in the Eucharist since it is a celebration of
praise and thanksgiving. Mary sang the promise of salvation in the
Magnificat, He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy,

Eucharist. The Eucharist has been given to us so that our life, like that of
Mary, may become completely a Magnificat! (Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 58).
