For the Advent season, let’s follow Mary’s example of anticipation that is full of adoration, humility, delight, gratitude, and wonder. With The Magnificat (the Song of Mary found in Luke 1:46-55) as our guiding text, we will use words, images, music, and more to prepare for the celebration of Jesus’ birth through the weeks of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.
This blog is an initiative of the Texas Christian University Office of Religious and Spiritual Life. Contributors are students, faculty, staff, and friends of TCU.
MAGNIFICAT
The Song of Mary, Luke 1:46-55 (The ELLC)
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for you, Lord, have looked with favor on your lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
you, the Almighty, have done great things for me,
and holy is your name.
You have mercy on those who fear you
from generation to generation.
You have shown strength with your arm
and scattered the proud in their conceit,
casting down the mighty from their thrones
and lifting up the lowly.
You have filled the hungry with good things,
and sent the rich away empty.
You have come to the aid of your servant Israel,
to remember your promise of mercy,
the promise made to our forebears,
to Abraham and his children forever.
