Feast of the Visitation
Luke 1:46-48
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.
---------------------------------------------------
MAGNIFICAT!!!
My soul magnifies the Lord.
During Mother Mary’s visit to Elizabeth, and through these words, she first acknowledges the special gifts she has been given. Then she recalls God’s universal favors, bestowed unceasingly on the human race. When a man devotes all his thoughts to the praise and service of the Lord, he proclaims God’s greatness.
His observance of God’s commands, moreover, shows that he has God’s power and greatness always at heart. Mama Mary attributes nothing to her own merits. She refers all her greatness to the gift of the one whose essence is power and whose nature is greatness, for he fills with greatness and strength the small and the weak who believe in Him.
Magnify the Lord through your words and actions.
Allow God to visit your home, and let Him stay there forever. Speak well of His name among your children gather your children nd tell them what a good and great God He has been. Tell them how good the Lord is to your family, and how good He will be to his children and your great grandchildren. Tell your servants, your co-workers, tell anybody with whom you come in contact what a blessed God the Lord is.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, You have shown strength with Your arm and scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. You have put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree. You have filled the hungry with good things; and the rich has been sent empty away. Amen +
Among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.
