In the past two weeks the objects of faith, on the Cathedral Year of Faith blog, have been linked to Mary, who was told she should call her son Emmanuel, which means God with us. The objects have been two prayers, firstly the Angelus (the angelic greeting) and the second, the Hail Mary. See below for a video and link to a third prayer, the Canticle of Mary, known as the Magnificat.
