5. Praising God and Glorifying His Name: Lessons from the Magnificat and Scripture
He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. “For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” (Malachi 4:1)
“He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.” (Luke 1:52-53)
“But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:43-45)
He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy. “You will show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham, as you have sworn to our ancestors from the days of old.” (Micah 7:20)
As he spoke to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever. “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favorably on his people and redeemed them. He has raised up a mighty savior for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.” (Luke 1:68, 72-73)
Like Mary, may we each magnify the Lord and rejoice in our Savior. May we have faith that the Father is able to do great and blessed things in our own lives. May we trust in his word, justice, and mercy. In doing so, we will find that we are filled with good things and with a greater testimony of God our Eternal Father.
