LUKE, Chapter 1

39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

46 And Mary said:

“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”

And good morning to you, Mary-Lou. I’ll visit the J-thread soon to see your Magnificat.

To: Hebrews 11:6

In Sar Shalom, the vocal for the “Magnificat” never got recorded, and now I don’t have the equipment to record it.

In the late eighties, the Cantata was performed live, and my sister sang the role of Mary. THAT wasn’t recorded either.

So I guess we can just listen to the music and imagine the words. LOL. Anyway, here are the lyrics:

*8. Magnificat:

(Solo (Mezzo Soprano)

My soul doth magnify the Lord
My spirit doth rejoice in God,
My Savior, My Savior.
For He has not forgotten the humble state of
His Servant, His Servant.
From now on, generations
Shall call me blessed
For the Lord has done great things for me,
And Holy is His Name.

His mercy extends to those who fear His Name
From generation, to generation
He has performed mighty deeds
And with His arm, He scattered
The Proud, The Proud.
He satisfied the Hungry,
And the Rich, sent away empty
Remembering His Mercy
Remembering His Mercy.

Even as He said to Our Fathers
To Abraham and his Children Forever!

Thanks for sharing that. You and Mary have a head-start on all other believers, because we’ll all be singing our own Magnificats in heaven.

Great pictures. Favorites #1, #2 and the last two images. The Magnificat is a splendid canticle.

There have been many gruesome biblical scenes portrayed here already, with plenty still to come. So it’s wonderful to me to have such an uplifting scene here. Thanks for adding to it.
