In today's Gospel reading, we heard Mary's beautiful response to her cousin Elizabeth's acknowledgment of her as the Mother of our LORD. This prayer, known as the Magnificat, is a daily proclamation in the official Evening Prayer of the Church across the world.
Mary's response is filled with joy and jubilation as she recognizes the lowly, those who may be looked down upon by others, as being favored by God. She speaks of the reversal of human fortunes and the fulfillment of God's promises in the Old Testament.
Mary's response praises God and acknowledges God's presence and providence in the lives of all those who inhabit the earth.
May we also recognize God's presence in our lives and respond with praise for God, sharing that presence with all whom we encounter.
