We continue with our spotlight on Mary. Today it's her Magnificat, the beautiful update of the canticle of Hannah who rejoiced at her long-desired pregnancy (1 Sam 2: 1, 4-7). Mary sums up for all of us the reasons why we should turn the spotlight away from ourselves onto God, the Giver of all our blessings. He knows our innermost desires, from the big and little things that make us happy, and grants them, sometimes surprises us with them, again and again showing us how much he regards and loves us. Nothing seem to be too good for us. An apparent disappointment is reversed into a cause for joy, a longed for reunion with a friend happens "out of the blue." Our days are full of these "signs" . Like Mary, we need to acknowledge them, tell others about them, so that they too might rejoice in God. Let our prayer today be Luke1:46-56, Mary's Magnificat, and make it our own Magnificat..
