Right Page:

The right page contains the English translation of the Magnificat, a canticle from the Gospel of Luke:

Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

For He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden;
For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

For He who is mighty has done great things to me;
And holy is His name.
And His mercy is from generation to generation
On those who fear Him.

He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He has put down the mighty from their seats,
And has exalted the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.

He, mindful of His mercy, has helped His servant Israel,
As He said to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed, forever.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
And forever, world without end. Amen.

Additionally, there are other short hymns or prayers in Latin with translations:

Alma Redemptoris Mater
Loving mother of the Redeemer,
Who remaining the open gate of heaven
And star of the sea,
Help a falling people that strives to rise.
You who bore, while Nature wondered,
Your holy Parent: Virgin before and after,
Receiving that "Ave" from the mouth of Gabriel,
Have mercy on us sinners.
