Advent 4C
-
In Mary’s visit with her cousin Elizabeth, we see the thing we are anticipating in the incarnation: a love revolution for all people.
-
Wrestling a sermon for Sunday about the visit with Elizabeth and Magnificat point to a political truth about Mary’s place in the story.
-
The Magnificat is offering of joy for the transforming power of God that will come into the world, to change it, for the good.
-
Preparing for Advent 4C, we get a look at a parallel birth story that is a delightful companion to the famous Christmas story.
-
We often describe Mary as humble. But the kind of humility we see in Scripture challenges the meek and mild image.
-
The Magnificat and the sublime normalcy of Mary juxtaposes our vision of her: her specialness: against her lowliness.
