Mary's Song
I was reading the Magnificat in Luke’s Gospel today (Luke 1:46-55) and I was struck by the fierceness of it. Mary is often described as meek and mild, but the strong language of this song of praise paints a very different picture. Mary has found herself in a situation that I imagine must have felt completely overwhelming and very scary. And yet, when she goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth, she sings a powerful song about God’s goodness. She speaks prophetic words about God upending the world, setting right the wrongs, and lifting up those who have been pushed down. Fierce!
