In Ten verses, Mary gives us the appropriate words as we grope for them to express our response to the birth of her Son.(Lk 1: 46-56) We might find a Christmas card here and there that puts our thoughts into words, but Mary's do it best: they are focused on the greatness of God, which, when we think about it, is greater than this whole universe, that, according to the most powerful telescope, has no end: vast and limitless....truly a material extension, expression of its Creator, this Creator who humbles himself and shrinks himself into the tiny body of an infant! Mary sees herself as simply the instrument for this miracle which confounds our understanding, and she praises the blessings that come from it: mercy to every generation, strength that dethrones the proud and mighty, and compassion that lifts the poor and lowly and fills the hungry with good things.. Let this be our prayer today and as we kneel before the crib on Christmas Eve and during the Christmas season.
