Mary's song of Thanksgiving
Mary pours out her thanksgiving and wonder at the generosity of God at a time in her life when she is venerable. A young, pregnant woman just beginning to understand how God has blessed her and her heart overflows with joy. I love the way Mary's words can come to us from so long ago and mean so much to us personally. Mary's words are words of a disciple of Christ, one who has give all over to God. And from this place it seems like it was effortless. We know it could not have been. Young and unmarried, certainly she heard the whispers behind her back. Yet, she remained focused and joyously thankful. I pray to have the same single-minded thankfulness today.
