Podcasts about Magnificat

Today, we read Mary's great song of praise to God, the Magnificat. After being faithful, after being encouraged, Mary now sings this song of praise. There is much for which she praises God.  She praises Him for His blessings to her.  She will be called blessed by all generations. She praises Him for His remembering of His promises to Abraham and their ancestors. And finally, she praises Him for turning the world upside down. The hungry are fed, and the lowly are lifted up. We pray weekly for God's will to be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. We see here the heart of what God wants it to look like.

Today on Ministry Monday we speak with Kathleen Pluth, hymn text author and translator whose work frequently appears in the prayer guide Magnificat, GIA Publications, and CanticaNova. Her hymn text, "Let the Earth Acclaim Christ Jesus," was chosen as the official hymn for the 2024 National Eucharistic Congress. She also wrote a hymn titled, "Hymn for the Soul of a Pope", which she offered for free during the month of May as many parishes honored the life of Pope Francis. Today Kathleen and I talk about all things hymnody: What is "hymnody"? Are there guiding documents that help us to discern the considerations of hymnody? And more.

This week in The Chosen King, we witnessed Mary's spontaneous and powerful response to God's work in her life. After receiving affirmation and prophetic blessing from her cousin Elizabeth, Mary bursts into a song of worship—what we now call the Magnificat. In this worship-filled moment, Mary shows us how to respond to the greatness of God.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore Podcast! In this powerful exploration of Mary's faith, we look closely at The Magnificat, Mary's spontaneous song of praise, which reveals a young woman of extraordinary faith facing an uncertain future. Despite the challenges ahead, Mary's response teaches us about true worship. Mary's example encourages us to say 'yes' to God's plan, even when it seems daunting. Her humble obedience and deep knowledge of scripture prepared her for God's extraordinary purpose. This prompts us to consider: How are we preparing ourselves for God's calling in our lives? Are we cultivating humility, trust, and biblical knowledge like Mary did? God bless and have a great week!

„Gegužės 21 d., eidamas 96-uosius, mirė didysis škotų moralės filosofas, atsivertęs į katalikybę, Notre Dame universiteto profesorius Alasdairas MacIntyre'as. Jis buvo kūrybingiausias ir filosofijos požiūriu novatoriškiausias XX a. Aristotelio ir dorybių etikos šalininkas. Nors sulaukęs itin garbaus amžiaus, jis turėjo pavydėtiną gebėjimą atrodyti vis naujai, pritraukti jaunų ir energingų skaitytojų gretas, išlaikant pranašišką savo žodžių skambesį. Gindamas Aristotelį, MacIntyre'as daugeliu atžvilgių numatė mūsų politinį sunkmetį toli į ateitį: sunkią liberalizmo padėtį, technokratinės ir ekspertinės valdžios krizę, vadinamąjį religijos „sugrįžimą“ ir naujų postliberalių dešiniųjų bei kairiųjų ideologijų iškilimą."

Fr. Sam Martin joins Patrick to discuss The Visitation of Mary (3:59) what is the visitation of Mary? How did Elizabeth recognize Mary and her role? (21:14) Break 1 Julie - I've had a visit from the blessed Mother. I had it confirmed from a priest. It makes me cry, but it's a beautiful thing. Miracle. You want to share it, but you know people won't believe you. (28:48) what can we learn form the visitation in how to interact with Mary? (33:28) What can we learn from the Magnificat? (38:58) Break 2 Rita - I'm wondering if one of the reasons for the visitation was to prepare Mary for what was coming. She was a complete virgin and didn't know about childbirth. She was close to Elizabeth and that might have given her some reassurance about what was happening to her. (42:13) Bob - How has Mary come into our life in a special way...through the many religious sisters and nuns. They have a special relationship with Jesus. I know many who have given their life to the Lord. Always filled with joy. Ericka - I believe the blessed mother appears to us in dreams and wants to protect us and let us know we need to pray.

La festa della Visitazione, che prima della riforma liturgica del Concilio Vaticano II si celebrava il 2 luglio, è stata anticipata al 31 maggio per concludere il mese dedicato alla Madonna e armonizzarla meglio con la sequenza evangelica dell’anno liturgico, collocandola tra l’Annunciazione del Signore (25 marzo) e la nascita di San Giovanni Battista (24 giugno). I testi liturgici proposti alla nostra meditazione ci invitano ad ammirare lo spirito di carità di Maria verso la parente Elisabetta, anch’essa in attesa, ma anche il suo desiderio ardente di farsi missionaria del Signore che porta in grembo. La sua presenza nella casa di Elisabetta rende viva la profezia di Sofonìa: “Il Signore tuo Dio in mezzo a te è un salvatore potente”. L’incontro tra Maria ed Elisabetta è segnato da un’intensa gioia profetica, dove lo Spirito Santo agisce e rivela: Elisabetta, piena di Spirito Santo, riconosce in Maria la Madre del Salvatore e la proclama beata per la sua fede: “Beata te che hai creduto…”. Giovanni Battista, ancora nel grembo, esulta, e Maria, confusa e umile di fronte a un tale saluto, innalza il suo “Magnificat”, un canto di lode che esalta la misericordia divina, proclama le grandi opere del Signore e afferma con umiltà il proprio nulla. Maria, nel suo “Fiat” all’angelo, ha accolto la volontà di Dio con piena disponibilità, rendendosi umile serva del progetto divino. Con la sua fede semplice e salda, ha dato al mondo il Verbo incarnato, cooperando in modo unico e irripetibile al disegno della salvezza. In lei vediamo la prima discepola, colei che, per prima, ha risposto all’amore di Dio con totale fiducia, diventando modello perfetto di obbedienza e dedizione. In ciascuno di noi, Dio continua a compiere meraviglie; riconoscerle è il primo passo per lodare il Padre della misericordia, che non cessa di chiamarci a collaborare alla nostra e all’altrui salvezza.

Der Solothurner Mädchenchor ist eine Singschule mit rund 80 engagierten Sängerinnen. Im Jahr 2000 gegründet, ist aus einem Mädchenchor mittlerweile eine sehr erfolgreiche, mehrstufige Singschule entstanden. Mit dem Jubiläumskonzert «La Magnifica» wird diese Woche das 25-jährige Bestehen gefeiert. Chortradition seit einem Vierteljahrhundert Gegründet wurde der Solothurner Mädchenchor vor 25 Jahren von Peter Scherer. Er leitete damals die Singknaben der St. Ursenkathedrale. Peter Scherer realisierte, dass auch unter den Mädchen ein grosses Bedürfnis bestand, in einem Mädchenchor zu singen. Mittlerweile leitet seine Tochter Lea Scherer, zusammen mit einem ganzen Leiterteam, diesen Chor. Über die Jahre ist die Begeisterung für das gemeinsame Singen immer grösser geworden. Bereits kleine 6-jährige Mädchen machen erste Schritte im Grundkurs. Später wechseln sie in den Aufbau- und dann in den Favoritchor. Für die jungen Frauen, die dann gerne weitersingen möchten, gibt es anschliessend ein «Frauenensemble». Mit der «Singschule Solothurner Mädchenchor» haben die Mädchen und jungen Frauen stets ein passendes Chor-Angebot für jedes Alter. Jubiläumskonzert «La Magnifica» Am kommenden Wochenende, 24. und 25. Mai 2025, feiert die Singschule Solothurner Mädchenchor ein Vierteljahrhundert musikalische Leidenschaft, Gemeinschaft und stimmliche Exzellenz. Im Zentrum des Programms steht das «Magnificat» von Johann Sebastian Bach. Die musikalische Leiterin, Lea Scherer, hat das Stück für Frauenstimmen neu arrangiert. Ergänzt wird das Programm mit musikalischen Perlen aus der 25-jährigen Geschichte des Chors. Es gibt daher ein «Best of» der schönsten Melodien von «Keren or», über «Schwizzerrapsody» bis hin zum rassigen Hit «Kusimama». Chormusikredaktor Guido Rüegge unterhält sich in dieser «Fiirabigmusig» mit Lea Scherer, der langjährigen musikalischen Leiterin.

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 292 - O Dearest Jesus, What Law Hast Thou Broken: vv. 1, 2, 4, 12, 15 - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - Os Justi: Os justi meditabitur sapientiam, Et lingua ejus loquetur judicium. Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsius. Et non supplantabuntar gressus ejus. Alleluia. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgement. The Law of God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. Psalm 37:30-31 / Music: Eleanor Daley - John 19:31-42: Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.” And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.” After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus. And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby. - Homily - Magnificat (choral setting by Ralph Vaughan Williams) - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 293 - O What Precious Balm and Healing: vv. 1, 4 - Postlude Service Participants: Peter Estrem (Preacher), Rev.

Sharifa Stevens, BOW Ministry Team Member Kelley Mathews, BOW Ministry Team Member Protestants in general often don't talk much about Mary, mother and disciple of Jesus. Kelley Mathews, however, provides us with lots to think about from her interesting insights into who she was and her life and witness. What are the Seven Sorrows in her life? Kelly talks about them and what we can learn from Mary about being a disciple. Don't miss this lively discussion about Mary, mother and disciple of Jesus. This episode is also available on video.

I am your host, Sharifa Stevens, and today I have the pleasure of talking to Kelley Mathews. Kelley Mathews has ministered to the church through writing and editing for over 25 years, though it does not look like it! Kelley has co-authored eight books, including 40 Questions About Women in Ministry. She is a freelance writer and editor, a former women's ministry director and Bible study teacher. She has been married to John, a school administrator, for 27 years. They are parents to four active, mostly grown children. Kelley earned her Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in the year 2000 and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry in New Testament from Houston Theological Seminary. Welcome, Kelley. Kelley >> Hello. Hello. It's kind of fun being on this end of the screen, right? Sharifa >> I'm glad. Kelley >> Right. Yeah. I'm usually one of the interviewers. Sharifa >> But today I'm interviewing you because we are going to be talking about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Now we're talking about her perhaps in a different light than the audience might usually be used to her. We usually don't hear about Mary unless it's Christmas time. Right? Kelley >> Right. Right. Seems a little weird to be talking about her now because it's nowhere near Christmas when we're recording. And you should be listening to this after the New Year for sure. Sharifa >> Exactly. But when we only hear from Mary about Mary at Christmas time, there is so much depth and wisdom that we miss. She is a part of our cloud of witnesses, so to speak. Kelley >> Yeah. Sharifa >> Someone to glean wisdom from and to learn from and to take inspiration from. Well, you're studying about Mary in part for your dissertation. Kelley >> Yes. Sharifa >> I want to get into it with you. One of the ways that Mary, the mother of Jesus, is identified in the larger church and traditionally in the Roman Catholic Church is as Mary of the Seven Sorrows. Is that correct? Kelley >> Yes. Sharifa >> What is. . . Kelley >> Mary has a lot of titles. Sharifa >> A lot of Titles. Kelley >> That's yeah, that's definitely one thing I think Protestants don't understand or may not even be aware of is the fact that the larger church and we could say the Catholic Church with this started way before there was any division of church when we were all united in the Patristic Era and then through the Medieval Time and all that. Mary was very much honored and she came by all these different names to emphasize different parts of her character and role within the church. Typically, as someone that would be an intercessor,

On Hour 2 of the Patrick Madrid Show, Patrick discusses the following: Audio – Mom explains why the school board is wrong about introducing gender studies at an elementary school level. Gina - When Mary visited Elizabeth and has her Magnificat. Is it possible that Luke knew Mary and accompanied her on her journey to visit Elizabeth? Audio – Why you should delete your info off of 23andMe Matthew - Is it a sin for my wife working outside of the home? Email – Nicolas – Parents should insist on communion on the tongue. Mariana - Are you for or against AI? can I invest in AI? Alfredo - I saw a commercial for cars during the basketball game about making fun of Confession. What do you think?

In this episode, we dive deep into Luke 1:46-56—Mary's Magnificat. What does it really mean to magnify the Lord? Is it about making God bigger, or about seeing Him more clearly?Join us as we unpack how worship shifts our perspective, bringing God into focus like a telescope—not a microscope. We'll explore:

Is it valid or even permissible to attend a Mass led by an excommunicated priest or bishop? We explore this complex issue and also dive into questions on Mary's perpetual virginity, altar calls at Pentecostal services, and the meaning behind “baptism for the dead.” Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Questions Covered: 04:55 – My wife is Pentecostal and I attend early morning Mass and then Pentecostal service with wife and children I want to know if it is ok  to go up to altar call with my wife and children?  14:53 – How to refute quantum mechanics disproving the Aristotelian proof of God and Causality  18:22 – Perpetual Vigirnity of Mary. Is it reasonable to think that St. Joseph did not know that Mary had taken a vow of Virginity?  24:30 – St. Paul, scripture, baptism for the dead, he has a theory of what it means, wants to get Joe's take…He thinks baptism for those who are dead in their sin  32:50 – Why does St. Paul go against the Council of Jerusalem when he says some Christians can eat meat sacrificed to idols?  36:25 – Can I attend a Mass that is being celebrated by an excommunicated priest or bishop?  42:41 – Mary's role as intercessor in light of Lukes passages on sword piercing her soul, and the Magnificat.  47:04 – Girlfriend died 3 years ago, he led her to Christ, wants to know if he can still pray to her, even though she may be in Purgatory, and can he ask her to pray for him  52:04 – Calling back with follow-up question, his wife does not want the kids baptized in the Catholic Church. Should he still passively participate?

Send us a text by clicking this link!Deep within our Catholic tradition lies the often-forgotten treasure of Embertide – those sacred days of intensified prayer and fasting that punctuate our liturgical year. Today's reflection brings us to Ember Wednesday of the first week in Lent, where we're reminded of the profound spiritual significance these ancient observances hold.The Gospel places before us the sign of Jonah – three days in the whale's belly prefiguring Christ's three days in the heart of the earth. Like the Pharisees who constantly demanded signs despite witnessing countless miracles, we too often seek tangible proofs rather than embracing the mystery of faith. True faith means adhering to divine truths without constant reassurance, trusting even when we cannot see or feel.Perhaps nowhere is this faith more beautifully expressed than in our baptism – that transformative moment when we became adopted children of God. As King Saint Louis IX of France profoundly noted, "I think more of the place of my baptism than of Reims Cathedral where I was crowned King of France, for the dignity of a child of God bestowed upon me at baptism is greater than ruler of the kingdom." How striking that a medieval monarch saw his divine adoption as more significant than his earthly crown! This challenges us to examine our own priorities and appreciate the treasure we received at the baptismal font.While we meticulously plan birthday celebrations marking our physical birth, how often do we commemorate the anniversary of our spiritual rebirth? This Lenten season offers the perfect opportunity to renew our appreciation for baptismal grace through simple practices: singing a Magnificat or Salve Regina in thanksgiving, attending an extra Mass, or establishing family traditions that honor baptismal anniversaries. Through these observances, we keep alive the ember of faith that first ignited in our souls when we became temples of the Holy Spirit.Looking to deepen your Lenten journey?

Exactly who is God. Using Mary's Magnificat, her song of praise to God, Travis shows how Mary gives glory to God, by extoling His attributes. Mary knew God and believed Him to be sovereign over everything including her life. Mary trusted God. How well do you know God?  Do you believe He is sovereign over everything? _________ Series: A Practical Guide to Glorifying… The post Why God is Great, Part 1 appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

Revealing who God really is brings Him Glory. The Bible consistently implores us to give glory to God. Revealing God as He really is, is the biblical way to bring glory to God. Mary's Magnificat reflects that in the wording of her song. Hannah's prayer, in 1 Samuel, is another excellent example of wording and ways to glorify God. Both of these… The post A Practical Guide to Glorifying God, Part 1 appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

In this sermon we talk grace, karma, a U2 song, the third step of recovery, why grace doesn't let us off the hook (with some help from The Magnificat), and what happens when I get cut off driving down Wilshire.

Let's read and briefly talk about The Magnificat

Fr. Fessio examines Mary's longest discourse, the Magnificat, to explain what kind of mercy God offers to those who fear Him.

In Scripture, Abraham's seed encompasses more than just biological lineage. It also transmits God's covenant, outlining the potential for righteousness and human corruption in a single function.The Hebrew term zera', "seed" or "offspring," follows the continuity of God's promise to Abraham from one generation to the next. It also marks the recurring story of human rebellion, which is as predictable in each generation as the agrarian cycle of seasons.Nothing changes under the sun.In this sense, the biblical seed is covenantal, according to God's promise across the generations, and biological, according to his command. The seed has all living things and the preservation of life in its purview, even as humans repeatedly threaten life in literary Scripture and literal history.To sow the biblical seed is to “spread” God's covenant in fulfillment of his promise to Abraham, a grace carried in the content of Paul's gospel, which scatters our rebellious (biological) seed as Jesus scatters in Luke, all the while gathering God's offspring for the Kingdom.This is what the Magnificat in Luke 1:46-55 means:Scripture shatters the stubborn back of human rebellion in every generation, scattering those who remain and spreading them among the nations, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham and his offspring, including all life in God's zealous care.Put that in your flashy fundraising brochure.This week, I discuss Luke 8:4-8.Show Notesσπείρω / σπόρος / ז-ר-ע (zayin-resh-ʿayin) / ز-ر-ع (zāy-rāʿ-ʿayn)“And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time זרע (zaraʿ), and you shall eat your bread to the full and dwell in your land safely.” (Leviticus 26:5)זֶ֫רַע (zeraʿ) “seed,” in biblical Hebrew, also functions as “offspring” or “descendants” with a connotation of spreading or scattering. In Arabic:The verb زرع (zaraʿa) means “to sow” or “to plant.”The noun زرع (zarʿ) refers to “crops” or “plants.”أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَأَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ(ʾafa-raʾaytum mā taḥruthūna, ʾaʾantum tazraʿūnahu ʾam naḥnu al-zāriʿūna)“Have you seen that which you sow?Is it you who makes it grow, or are we the grower?”(Surah Al-Waqi'ah, 56:63-64)The biblical function ז-ר-ע bifurcates in the Qur'an, clarifying the distinction between covenant and offspring. A second root, ذ-ر-أ (dhā-ra-hamza), is introduced alongside ז-ר-ע that ties directly to lineage, posterity, and the continuity of God's covenant with Abraham:قَالَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِمِينَ(qāla wa-min dhurrIyyatī qāla lā ya-nālu ʿahdī a-ẓālimīna)“He [Abraham] said, ‘And of my descendants?' He said, ‘My covenant does not include the wrongdoers.'”(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:124)As with Biblical Hebrew, both connotate scattering, dispersing, or spreading. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In contrast with the regal adornment she wears in medieval art, Mary acknowledges in her inspired song, the Magnificat, that God has looked on her “humble estate,” not on her worldly dignity or righteousness (Luke 1:46–55). In this episode, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller explore the story of Mary, just another Jewish girl from a nondescript family who became the mother of God.

Ask just about anyone how they define “blessed,” and it will likely be far different than how Elizabeth, the angel Gabriel, and even Mary herself defined it. In this week's message from Luke 1, Pastor J.D. takes us through the Magnificat, Mary's song of praise and thanksgiving to God. The truths that we learn from this song—largely based in the Psalms—point to a God whose presence and promises anchor our hope, even when it doesn't feel like Christmas. 

From a commentary of Luke by Venerable Bede, priest (Lib 1, 46-55: CCL 120, 37-39)  The Magnificat Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. The Lord has exalted me by a gift so great, so unheard of, that language is useless to describe it, and ...

There's just something about the Virgin Mary. She stirs up big feelings - she has for millennia. Some have perhaps given her more prominence than she would feel comfortable with.Others have hacked down her statues in reforming zeal. Others never think about her, except when they come across a nativity scene in a shopping mall (and even that's becoming a rarity).So, it's time we met Mary properly this Christmas. (06:10) - - Mary in the New Testament (08:50) - - Daily life for Mary (13:46) - - The conception of Jesus (18:42) - - Science vs. the Virgin Birth (24:54) - - The Incarnation (32:24) - - Was Mary always a virgin?

Overcome with her new position as the mother of our Lord, Mary sings her Magnificat to God. She chooses worship over worry, humility over pride, and remembrance over forgetfulness, modeling to us the path of ever-increasing joy.

In our contemporary context we need a Christianity formed by the Magnificat. In the American superpower we are typically inclined toward ideologies of success and anthems of strength. But the grace of God does not run uphill toward the pinnacles of success and strength, it rolls downhill toward the low places of humility and trust.

Stephanie has deep admiration for Mary, the mother of Jesus. So, she invites you to take a seat at Mary's table this Christmas season. Grab a cup of hot Christmas tea and join Mary at God's feast. Mary's journey of faith showcases deep humility and trust. For example, her genuine curiosity about God's message distinguishes her from Zechariah's earlier skepticism, demonstrating that God welcomes questions borne out of innocence. Mary's life highlights a pure faith, and a willingness to devote herself completely to God, despite societal repercussions. Mary is a beacon of suffering and endurance. Scripture emphasizes the importance of embracing our legacy for God's glory, drawing parallels to Ruth and Boaz's story as an analogy of choosing faithfulness amidst trials. Mary's life challenges us to view suffering through a lens of divine purpose and glory. In Christ, the New Testament teaches a profound reversal from the Old Testament perspective. Traditionally, the unholy would taint the holy, but in Christ, the holy purifies the unholy. This applies to Mary as well, and is vividly exemplified in stories like the woman healed by touching Jesus' garment, and the shadows of Peter and Paul, which miraculously conveyed healing. Understanding Jesus as fully God and fully man is vital to grasp the profound nature of the cross and resurrection. The incarnation is not merely to be seasonally celebrated at Christmastime, but it extends to us an invitation to experience the holiness of Jesus personally throughout the year. Belief in Jesus is paramount for salvation, extending beyond heritage and familial connections to Israel. Even Mary herself needed to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior, because salvation is an individual journey taken in a corporate, communal context. Mary's faith journey is therefore marked by the joy and strength she found in fellowship and corporate worship. Community is essential in nurturing our faith, and in providing encouragement, support, and a shared sense of purpose. Mary's song, the Magnificat, reveals her deep scriptural understanding, reminiscent of patriarchal figures like Abraham and Hannah, as well as her bond with her cousin Elizabeth. This is the power of community to bolster our faith! In her humble and challenging circumstances—living in poverty, as a widow, raising several children, and dealing with societal reputations—Mary chose to view herself as blessed through a divine lens. Her life exemplifies surrendering to God's plan as an act of commitment, rather than selecting the bits and pieces of faith that would be more comfortable. Her life teaches a timeless lesson: embracing God's plans often requires relinquishing personal ambitions and societal approval. Her journey serves as a guide for living a life of worship and devotion to Jesus, standing firm in faith through every storm. So, this Christmas, consider reimagining your Christmas celebrations through the lens of Mary's life. Ponder the story of Mary, not just as an iconic biblical figure, but as a relatable model of faith, courage, and unwavering devotion in the face of life's trials.

To see what Jesus' first advent would mean to the world, seeing it from Mary's perspective is a good starting point—it's such good news that she shares that perspective in the form of a Hebrew song. Guest preacher Bobby Scott preaches an Advent sermon from Luke 1:39-56.

We arrive at the conclusion of the article on how Jesus prays, teaches us to pray, and hears our prayer. Fr. Mike examines the remarkable beauty and simplicity of the “Jesus Prayer.” He also examines Mary's Fiat and Magnificat, and how she can pray and intercede for us. He concludes with an invitation to prayer by saying it is more important to pray than to talk about prayer. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2616-2622.
