Gospel
Luke 1:46-56
The Almighty has done great things for me
Mary said:
‘My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit exults in God my saviour;
because he has looked upon his lowly handmaid.
Yes, from this day forward all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his mercy reaches from age to age for those who fear him.
He has shown the power of his arm,
he has routed the proud of heart.
He has pulled down princes from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
The hungry he has filled with good things, the rich sent empty away.
He has come to the help of Israel his servant, mindful of his mercy
– according to the promise he made to our ancestors –
of his mercy to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.’
Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then went back home.
Reflection
Let us reflects on this word . He has filled the hungry with good things and the rich sent away empty. There are two types of people . Those who are filled with the way of the world while those whose heart are empty and hungry for the word of God. The people who are hungry for God's word are those pleasing to God. Do you seek God's word?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus may I always be hungry for your word for I know it will bring joy to you.
Amen
