Podcasts about Magnificat

Hoje vamos mergulhar na Sinfonia de Dante, uma das obras mais visionárias e, ao mesmo tempo, desafiadoras de Franz Liszt. A estreia aconteceu em 7 de novembro de 1857, no Teatro Real de Dresden, sob regência do próprio Liszt. A recepção? Digamos… nem todos estavam preparados para tanta ousadia.Apresentado por Aroldo Glomb com Aarão Barreto na bancada. Seja nosso padrinho: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apoia.se/conversadecamara⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ RELAÇÃO DE PADRINS Aarão Barreto, Adriano Caldas, Gustavo Klein, Fernanda Itri, Eduardo Barreto, Fernando Ricardo de Miranda, Leonardo Mezzzomo,Thiago Takeshi Venancio Ywata, Gustavo Holtzhausen, João Paulo Belfort , Arthur Muhlenberg e Rafael Hassan.Tudo começou lá em 1837, quando Liszt estava curtindo a paisagem do Lago de Como ao lado de sua companheira Marie d'Agoult. Entre um passeio e outro, ele mergulhou na leitura da Divina Comédia de Dante Alighieri. Foi aí que nasceu a ideia de transformar esse épico literário em música – mas não apenas música: Liszt queria juntar som, poesia e até artes visuais. Teve até planos malucos, como projetar imagens em lanterna mágica durante o concerto e usar uma máquina de vento experimental para simular as rajadas do Inferno. Isso em 1850 e poucos! Visionário demais, né?Em 1855, ele escreveu para o amigo e futuro genro, Richard Wagner, contando sobre a obra que estava compondo. A ideia era uma sinfonia em três movimentos: Inferno, Purgatório e Paraíso. Só que Wagner deu aquele pitaco clássico: disse que o Paraíso não podia ser representado em música. Liszt até aceitou o conselho – meio a contragosto – e deixou o último movimento em aberto, reduzindo-o a um coro feminino com trechos do Magnificat.A estreia rolou em 7 de novembro de 1857, no Teatro Real de Dresden, com o próprio Liszt regendo. E olha… foi um fiasco! Faltou ensaio, a imprensa caiu matando e até amigos próximos ficaram com o pé atrás. Mas a obra sobreviveu ao tempo e hoje é considerada uma das mais ousadas tentativas de unir literatura e música no século XIX.

Der Chor «Junge Stimmen Zürich» feiert dieses Wochenende mit zwei Konzerten sein 10 Jahr-Jubiläum. Jahr für Jahr erarbeiten rund 50 Jugendliche aus dem ganzen Kanton Zürich jeweils ein Chorprojekt auf hohem musikalischem Niveau. Kantonaler Jugendchor des Kantons Zürich Martin Wildhaber ist der Gründungsdirigent des Chors «Junge Stimmen Zürich». Vor zehn Jahren hat er mit Erstaunen festgestellt, dass es im bevölkerungsreichsten Kanton der Schweiz keinen kantontonalen Jugendchor gibt. Das bewog ihn unter dem Patronat des Zürcher Kantonal-Gesangvereins einen solchen Chor auf die Beine zu stellen. Seither lassen sich singbegeisterte Jugendliche aus dem ganzen Kanton von ihm und seinem Team für hochstehende Chormusik begeistern. «Junge Stimmen Zürich» hat sich dadurch in den letzten 10 Jahren zu einem schweizweit etablierten vokalen Ensemble entwickelt. Jubiläumskonzerte «10 Jahre Junge Stimmen Zürich» Dieses Zitat aus der Broschüre zum Jubiläumsprojekt sagt eigentlich alles: «Was einst als kleiner Traum begann, hat sich zu einer festen Grösse in der Schweizer Kulturlandschaft entwickelt.» Am 6. und 7. September 2025, feiert der kantonale Jugendchor des Kantons Zürich zehn Jahre gemeinsame Begeisterung für das Singen auf hohem Niveau. Das Jubiläumsprogramm besteht aus drei sehr unterschiedlichen Programmteilen. Zum ersten Mal wird der Chor vom Orchester «Camerata Cantabile Zürich» begleitet und bringt dabei zwei aussergewöhnliche Werke zur Aufführung. Einerseits erklingt das prachtvolle «Magnificat» des britischen Komponisten John Rutter, dann aber auch eine Uraufführung der Zürcherlieder-Kantate «Freut euch des Lebens». Ergänzt wird das Programm mit mitreissenden Pop-Arrangements aus dem Repertoire des Chors. Chormusikredaktor Guido Rüegge unterhält sich in dieser «Fiirabigmusig» mit Martin Wildhaber, er ist langjähriger musikalischer Leiter des Chors «Junge Stimmen Zürich».

Order of Service: - Prelude - The Confession of Sin (p. 120) - Hymn 71 - The Lord Hath Helped Me Hitherto - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - The Gloria Patri (p. 121) - Psalm 122: I was glad when they said to me We will go to the house of God, O Jerusalem, we are standing, standing within thy walls, O Jerusalem! O pray for the peace of Jerusalem they shall prosper that love thee, Peace be within thy walls, Prosperity within thy palaces. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and forever. Amen. (setting by Fernand de la Tombelle) - Luke 19:41-48: Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.' ” And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him, and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him. - Homily - The Versicle (p. 122) - The Magnificat (p. 123) - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 565 - All Praise To Thee, My God, This Night - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Rev.

¿Ha producido una huella en tu alma el conocer a Dios?

Compline by Candlelight provides peace and stillness as one week ends and another begins. Set in the tranquility of St. Paul's Chapel, one of the oldest buildings in New York City, guests find a seat and hold a candle, while 30 minutes of improvised music by The Choir of Trinity Wall Street fill the space. There's nothing to do but listen. Magnificat and Nunc dimittis (Short Service in F) - John Blow  

In today's gospel, we hear one of the most revolutionary hymns in all of Scripture, it's known as the Magnificat. But, too often Mary is domesticated —pictured as meek, mild, and obedient. However, the Mary we encounter in Luke is something far more radical. She is a teenager, unwed, dark-skinned, and living under the occupation of the Roman empire. By all accounts, she should be invisible. She should be powerless. And yet, she dares to sing... The post The Feast of Mary, Mother of Our Lord appeared first on Wicker Park Lutheran Church.

Mary's proclamation of praise inspires us to rejoice in the saving power of God at work in our lives. (Lectionary #622) August 15, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

In this homily, Fr. Edward reflects on the significance of the word all—and how every generation, before, during, and after Mary's earthly life, has indeed called her blessed. Her words at the Visitation, recorded in the Magnificat, were truly prophetic!

The queen takes her place at your right hand in gold of Ophir. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.”Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, says, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” She cries out in a loud voice before Mary and before God as a prophet might cry out or as one so full of conviction that it was impossible not to cry out. Elizabeth is divinely inspired to express what has become contained in the Hail Mary, prayed countless billions of times generation after generation. And what did she say that resounds over the millennia? “Blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Because Elizabeth was divinely inspired to say these words as was Mary in proclaiming the Magnificat, the depth and breadth of what they express continue to invite us into the beauty and mystery of the incarnation, the resurrection of Jesus, and Mary's assumption, body and soul, into heaven.God, thank you for what the Gospel reveals about Mary and Elizabeth's greeting to each other. They each express a depth of faith that goes beyond what is knowable in the natural world. Elizabeth proclaimed Mary as the Mother of God before Jesus' birth, and Mary praised God for remembering his promise of mercy. God, help me recognize Mary's role as an instrument of mercy, both in life and after her assumption. She proclaimed the greatness of the Lord and his holy name: “for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers.” Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us!Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Read Online“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name.”  Luke 1:46–49Today we celebrate one of seventeen different memorials, feasts and solemnities in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary that are found on the Roman Liturgical Calendar. Today's celebration is one of the four great Solemnities by which our Blessed Mother is honored. Obviously, no other person other than our Lord is honored and celebrated with as much solemnity as the Mother of God.The Solemnity of the Assumption honors the fact that when the Blessed Virgin Mary completed her life on earth, she was taken body and soul into Heaven to be with her resurrected Son so as to adore the Most Holy Trinity forever. It's an amazing fact to consider that she retains her body and soul, united as one in Heaven, in anticipation of that glorious day when the new Heavens and Earth will be created and when all the faithful will rise so as to live in a new bodily form forever with God.Though this dogma of our faith had been held and believed by the faithful from the earliest times of our Church, especially since it was witnessed by those closest to our Blessed Mother at the time of her glorious Assumption, it wasn't until November 1, 1950, that Pope Pius XII solemnly proclaimed it to be so, raising this teaching of our faith to the level of a dogma, meaning, it must be held and believed by all. In part, the Holy Father declared, “...we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.”The Gospel passage quoted above comes from the beginning of Mary's song of praise, her Magnificat, by which she not only gives the greatest glory to God but also reveals who she is. She is the one whom “all generations” will call “blessed.” She is the one for whom “the Almighty has done great things.” She is the one who will eternally proclaim “the greatness of the Lord” and whose spirit will forever rejoice in God her Savior. And she is that lowliest of servants whom God has raised up to the greatest glory.Reflect, today, with the whole Church, upon the Most Glorious Ever-Virgin Mary who was conceived without sin, remained sinless throughout her life, and was taken body and soul into Heaven where she now adores the Most Holy Trinity and intercedes for you and for the whole Church. This is a Solemnity of great rejoicing! Share in this joy with the whole Church and with all the saints in Heaven! Most glorious and Ever-Virgin Mary, I rejoice today with you and with the whole Church for the most glorious things that God has done for you. You are beauty beyond beauty, Immaculate in every way, and worthy of our deepest love. As you now share body and soul in the glories of Heaven, please pray for me and for all your dear children on earth. Cover us with your mantle of love and pour forth the mercy of God upon us always. Mother Mary, assumed into Heaven, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

This sermon was preached by Anna Whitfield at the Denton site of Christ Church Manchester on Sunday 10th August 2025, from Luke 1:46-55.

Send us a textStrong Women Strong WorldMary | Part 6Senior Pastor Keith StewartAugust 3, 2025Mary is the fourth-most mentioned New Testament character after Jesus, Peter, and Paul. Yet in the average Protestant church, she is typically ignored. Rarely will you hear a message devoted just to telling Mary's story. Or if you do, it sounds more like a sappy Hallmark commercial than the portrait we actually see of her in Scripture. It's time we get to know this prophetic, powerful woman who consistently points us to Jesus.____________Discussion Questions 1. What perceptions did you have of Mary before hearing today's message? If you have a church background, what sort of teaching did you have from pastors or other leaders in your church? If you have no church background, what was your understanding of Mary? 2. The level of poverty in first century Palestine was severe – affecting the vast majority of those who lived there. It's something that the holy family (Mary, Joseph and Jesus) experienced daily both personally and socially. People were hungry for hope in the midst of economic despair. Mary's song prophesies a new reality. In what ways has the church throughout the ages addressed the problems of poverty? If you don't know the answer to this question, use it as your homework assignment. 3. In this message, Pastor Keith addressed Mary's calling, her prophecy, how she prophecies, her Scriptural knowledge, and the things she predicted about her Son. Have you ever thought of Mary as a prophet? What stood out to you most about this? Why do you think so many churches downplay Mary's role as a prophet?  4. When it comes to the telling of the Christmas story, Pastor Keith laid the blame at the feet of the Church that has often watered down the radical and revolutionary message of Mary. Why is the church often the ones most guilty of telling a truncated, sanitized, overly simplified Christmas story? Luke's gospel is the most common Scripture read as it relates to Christmas, but the part about the Magnificat is almost always left out. Why is that? 5. There are definite and intentional parallels between the story of Eden and the story of Golgotha. Take some time to review this part of the message. List the parallels you remember. Why does this matter? How does it reflect the amazing unity of Scripture?

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. Our reading is the parable of the Good Samaritan and in her reflection Alison recalls her childhood stage triumph in re-enactment of the story. Although the parables are wonderful ways to engage children at their heart lie profound and uncomfortable truths for adults. The choir sings a setting of the "Magnificat" – the song of praise to Mary sung at every Choral Evensong service – by the twentieth century English composer Kenneth Leighton which he wrote for Magdalen College, Oxford. It is one of the finest settings of its time. We close with the hymn "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds" written by John Newton who converted to Christianity after an immoral life at sea which included captaining a slave ship. In time, he would join forces with William Wilberforce as an abolitionist.

San Lucas nos transmite en su evangelio: la Encarnación, la Visitación, el Magnificat, y el P. Juan Antonio Gómez, SHM, en «Cómo van a creer», indica que por eso aunque el evangelista no haya pintado fisicamente ningún cuadro de María, en su evangelio nos ha retratado el alma de la Virgen Santísima. 

Mary's Magnificat is an example of faith in thanksgiving that the Lord would turn his face to her, a humble virgin deserving of nothing, and lift her to be the mother of her Lord.

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!

In this episode of the Marian Hour, before the feast of the Visitation, Father Campbell discusses and unpacks the Magnificat.

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.

Patrick answers a heartfelt query about the morality of lawsuits after a tragic loss, referencing St. Paul and Jesus’s teachings to guide listeners through forgiveness, restitution, and Christian ideals in difficult situations. Patrick also addresses concerns about parish practices, offers practical wisdom on end-of-life planning, and celebrates stories of faith shared by callers. With his signature blend of humor, clarity, and compassion, Patrick guides listeners through everyday Catholic living, bringing together thoughtful questions, honest conversations, and helpful advice. Email – Is it moral to sue someone? (02:18) Michael - I am concerned about changes in wording to the Lord's Prayer. (08:16) Yollie - I was invited to be a facilitator in faith formation class. I had a student saying he has better answers than me and he attacked our blessed Mother. (22:24) Tom - I am a Catholic Attorney. I recommend that the person you were talking to pursue a consultation with personal injury attorney. Doesn't do any harm to do litigation. (27:10) Grace (email) - I’ve started doing scriptural rosaries with my boyfriend but many of the verses used are taken out of context. (35:24) Laurie (email) - The thought of wall papering a room with the Magnificat occurred to me! (42:21) Marci – My adult children don’t talk to me. (45:08)

What if the most famous prayer in Christianity hides a deeper secret?Most people miss the real tension and spiritual drama at the heart of Mary's visitation to Elizabeth. In this episode, we unravel the subversive currents beneath the Magnificat, the rivalry of prophets, and the tangled quest for spiritual legitimacy.

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.

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,

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?

Let's read and briefly talk about The Magnificat

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.

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.

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. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
