Scripture lesson: Luke 1:46b-55 The Magnificat
Time to reflect: As is God's practice, God passes over the rich and famous and powerful and picks a normal person for the most important job of giving birth to and raising the Messiah. God is full of surprises.
Moving through the day: Can you think of other ways in which “God's ways are not our ways?”
And Mary said:
"My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
to Abraham and his descendants forever,
even as he said to our fathers."
