Mary goes in haste to be at the side of her cousin Elizabeth as she prepares to give birth to a child her her advanced years. Elizabeth recognizes the Presence of the Holy One in Mary's womb as the child in hers leaps for joy. Mary sings her Magnificat as she recognizes God's favor toward his lowly one and predicts the downfall of the mighty. Much food for thought as we remember those who have gone in haste to protect the oppressed and preserve the freedoms that so many fought so hard to gain. This is a day when the Magnificat can be on our lips and in our hearts as we pray/ sing in gratitude for God's presence among us, and how he has preserved us through those who have laid down their lives. Let us also pray for those who are currently serving us. I quote part of this simple but profound prayer and encourage you to pick up your Bibles and turn to Luke 1: 47-55.
"My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon the lowliness of his servant, for behold, all generations will call me blessed. For he, the Mighty One, is holy and hae has done great things for me. His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear him."
