and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

             for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.

             For behold, henceforth all generations

             will call me blessed;

             for he who is mighty has done great

             things for me, and holy is his name.”

                                                                 Luke 1: 46-49

For Reflection:

Like magnifying glasses help ailing eyes to see more clearly, so does Mary’s soul help our weak eyes of faith to see God with greater clarity. Through the course of this month thus far, what mysteries has God shown me? What mysteries are revealed through Mary as expressed in the rest of this passage? What mystery might God be revealing to others through me in light of my life and my circumstances?
