Evening: Psalms 146, 147; 2 Samuel 7:18-29; Luke 1:39-56
Were it not for the stories of Jesus’s resurrection, we might not have any stories of his conception and birth; they were written after his death. Jesus’s mother Mary’s amazing humility and holiness greatly influenced those who wrote the story of her son, Jesus; and his story has defined subsequent history. Mary’s song celebrates that compassion and justice will prevail in human life. Mercy, strength, kindness, generosity and faithfulness are touchstones for Jesus and for us. But these qualities do not express themselves through our own efforts; they arise when a person – like Mary – allows God to touch her life.
