what we see emphasised on FR

Quix -- FR is an online discussion forum. This is not my real life, nor is it reality at all, it's virtual. Caww was pointing out how throughout Mary's whole exaltation she lifted up God...not herself. Count the very references to Him..over and over she magnifies HIS NAME...and how little she speaks of herself...and when she does it is always from the perspective of who He is and what He has done

In the real world, during the main community prayer of us Christians in The Church, in Divine Litury, Mass we have all praise and glory to God, The Father Son and Holy Spirit. We read His Word (OT, NT, Psalms, Proverbs, Gospels, Epistles), we meditate on His Word, we celebrate His life, we mourn His death, we remember in awe His sacrifice for us, we glorify in His resurrection and we remember that He will come again.
The Mass is completely in remembrance of Christ: life, death, resurrection, glorification of God alone

as I said in my post above commenting on Mary's praise to God her Savior, she called Him her Savior while He was still in her womb, He saved her even before He was born, He did this by preserving her from sin -- Mary very rightly praises God for doing this for her (she did nothing to save herself -- all was by God, for God) -- to God alone the glory as we see reflected in her prayer and in our prayer, the Mass

If one drops in for mass at any nearby Church, one can see this way in which we are awe-struck at the life, death, resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, at the power of the Holy Spirit, at the majesty of The Father and we ask the SPirit to bless us.
