| 01 of 26. STATUE OF MARY in front of Church - reflect a particular event in her life portrayed through the scriptures or one of her apparitions in the history of the Church. In her "Magnificat" she prays: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever." (Luke 1:46-55). This is a prayer which priests and religious pray every day at evening prayer.
