Mary's prayer to God in Luke 1:46-55:
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness;
behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.
The Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.
He has shown might with his arm,
dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart.
He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones
but lifted up the lowly.
The hungry he has filled with good things;
the rich he has sent away empty.
He has helped Israel his servant,
remembering his mercy,
according to his promise to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his descendants forever."
With love in Christ.

And you wont find it in written tradition alone without the oral tradition the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary is St. Joachim the first cousin of Heli mentioned in the genealogy of the Gospel of St. Luke and her mother is St. Anne also called Hannah. The Gospel of St. Luke is the genealogy of Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary.

--------------
Watcherd, "magnificat" is Latin for "magnifies". The canticle takes its name from the first line, "My soul magnifies the Lord".

Sorry, but Mary was not "magnificat", she was chosen as a vessel by God to bear Jesus.
Mat 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Mat 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Mat 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
