MARY'S "MAGNIFICAT"
PRAISES GOD

L U K E
CHAPTER 1

At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and ELIZABETH WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. BLESSED IS SHE WHO HAS BELIEVED that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”

And Mary said:

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

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

MARY’S
‘MAGNIFICAT’
PRAISES GOD

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and good morning to each of you.
I so look forward to your Art Ministry; what a way to start our day.

Every part of God’s Word is important; thank you for lifting the Word.

[SouthernClaire]

Thank you, Dan. I so appreciate your postings for all of us to enjoy.

[Chainmail]

Thank You!

[Hebrews 11:6]

If you want to imagine that God uses this art to bring viewers to His Word, I won’t argue.

[Hebrews 11:6]

So glad it’s positive for you, Claire.

[Hebrews 11:6]

My pleasure!

Great Tissot and a lovely #2 by the early 19th c. artist Marie Ellenrieder. Nothing around Mary to distract us from her message, the Magnificat. She wears the blue color of her royal status and the red of her humanity.
Splendid stained glass windows, thank you Dan!
