With all the fighting, violent suicide bombings, fruitless negotiations, and failed agreements, it has not dawned on us what our real desire is. We are failing to acknowledge that the Cornerstone which binds the dust of mankind into one, is Jesus Christ, the one, true and only King and Desire of Nations. Today's Gospel gives us Mary, Magnificat in which she praises God for not only showered us with mercy, but with the strength of his arm has scattered the proud, cast down the mighty, lifted the lowly, filled the hungry and sent the rich away empty. He comes with promised mercy to bring a a kingdom of unity and peace into existence. In our Year of Mercy, may our prayers help us to live Mary's Magnificat, and help us to illumine the path followed by Mary for all to see. If each one of us gets our priorities straight, the ripple effect is just what the scattered dust of the nations need.
O King of the nations and their Desire, the Cornerstone who binds two into one: come and save mankind, whom you fashioned from clay.
