[Salvation]

The Magnificat

The Prayer Of Mary  My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.  (Lk 1:46-55) Magnificat anima mea Dominum; Et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo, Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae; ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes. Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est, et sanctum nomen ejus, Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.  Fecit potentiam brachio suo;  Dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles. Esurientes implevit bonis, et divites dimisit inanes.  Sucepit Israel, puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae, Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semeni ejus in saecula.

The Magnificat, Such a beautiful prayer.

Our Blessed Mother always points to her Son as the one to follow.

Just as she commanded the servants at the Wedding Feast to do as her son, Jesus, commanded, she also tells us.

Just as Solomon raised his mother up as Queen, Jesus has His mother raised as Queen.

I can't understand why anyone would want to lower the mother of Jesus and think that would honor Jesus? That Our Lord Jesus Christ would be jealous of his own mother is ridiculous!
