“My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my soul rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed,
for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.”
from Mary’s Magnificat
Luke 1:46-48
Commentary: This past Sunday was the last in Advent. Now Christmas will come! Mary’s Magnificat was the reading from the New Testament for the day, and the homily focused on rejoicing in small things.
One of the songs we had in our order of service was the beloved Christmas carol, “What Child is This?” You can listen to it performed by the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge.
p.s. Have you seen “The Nativity Story”?
