"Mary said:
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. For he has looked upon 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.
"He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit.
"He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly.
"He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
"He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever."
"Mary remained with Elizabeth about three months
and then returned to her home." (Luke 1: 46 - 56).
Friday 22nd December 2023 Advent Week Day.
Mary's Magnificent Magnificat is the Gospel of this Advent Week Day. We can only reflect on a line or two of this great prayer and prophecy.
"He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly."
Who are the mighty in history that had been dethroned?
Caesars, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, etc.
The word of God is living and powerful. "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Cf Revelations 19: 10).
As we come to the end of 2023, can you interpret the prophecy below?
"He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly."
Happy Advent!
"O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son, we beseech You that, as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve Her from all stain, so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession, to come unto You."
