Description
Soon after the angel Gabriel announced to Mary the astonishing news that she would bear the long-awaited Messiah, Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth, who was also expecting a child.
As Mary greeted Elizabeth, the child in Elizabeth’s womb (John the Baptist) leaped inside her. Elizabeth exclaimed to Mary, “God has blessed you among all women. Why do I have this honor, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
Mary responded by singing a song of praise to God, commonly known as the Magnificat.
Her song, recorded in Luke 1:46-55, was not just a sweet lullaby sung in anticipation of the baby Jesus’ birth, Stroman says. Instead, it was a message of deliverance and hope.
Mary’s song proclaimed deliverance and hope to a dark and fearful world. It continues to bring challenge and hope to us today.
SINGING MARY’S SONG provides scripture readings, meditations, and prayers for each day of Advent. Each week’s readings focus on various lines of Mary’s song. Reflection questions are included each week.
