Gospel: Luke1: 46-56
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.
Dearest Mother, you offer us the perfect example of how to live as a faithful and humble servant of the Most High God.
You proclaimed His greatness with your whole being and were filled with joy at His coming.
Help me, by your powerful intercession, to imitate your faith and to love God with my whole being.
Mother Mary, pray for me.
Amen
