Wednesday 23 December (2 Sleeps to go!)

It's day 11 of our 12 Days

This is our penultimate reflection for you and we have the lovely Norvisi bringing it to us (while rocking a very couth Christmas Jumper)!

46 And Mary said:

“My soul glorifies the Lord
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49     for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
    holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
    but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors.”

56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

Luke 1:46-56 (NIV)

Reflect:
  • What part of the Magnificat (Mary's song) strikes you?
  • What is your song to God in this season?
Pray:
  • May we always remember that you, O merciful God, are mindful of us.
  • Just like Mary, may we continue to glorify and praise you.
  • Help us to embrace the new things you are doing in our lives.
Our reflection is on the Magnificat, Mary's song, so we had to go with the song Mary Did You Know. Pentatonix has some good Christmas songs, and we also love their version of O Come All Ye Faithful.
