Mary’s song is a beautiful passage in the Bible. Here is a young lady who has been asked to do a brave, scary, miraculous thing, who has traveled great distances while pregnant and who has given birth to God’s son among the animals. She holds her precious child, not with anxiety or asking “why me,” but with joy, gratitude, humility, and peace. As you enter into this week of Christmas, let Mary’s song ring in your hearts and let it fill you with the peace of Jesus:
“And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. “ Luke 1:46-50
