December 22, 2023 Reflection – “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord!”
My Soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord! December 22, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Again today, I cannot refrain from sending you all the Gospel Reading for Mass! It is the Magnificat! And Our Lady expresses her Heart so beautifully in it. We want to take refuge in this most wonderful Heart of Mary: Gospel according to Luke 1:46-56 Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior, for he has looked upon his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.” Mary remained with Elizabeth about three months| and then returned to her home. The Gospel of the Lord. Our Lady’s Heart is indeed a place of safety for us. We need that place so badly in our time. She told us last June: June 25, 2023 “Dear children! The Most High permits me to be among you – to pray for you, to be a Mother to you and to be your refuge. Little children, I am calling you: return to God and to prayer and God will bless you abundantly. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother Mary has been sent by God to be our refuge! She prays for us and mothers us, and protects us! She is a refuge from all the trials and evils of our day. Flee to her and let her surround you with her protection. Thanks be to God! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023 P.S. Please go to our website and watch the Christmas greeting from Denis for all of you!
