Evening: Psalms 111, 113; Isaiah 28:9-22; Lk 1:39–56
Solstice: the light returns. Mary’s Song (‘Magnificat’) is light dawning in her; she responds, astonished, at what is happening … she trusts that she is carrying, in her womb, the Messiah long expected by her people. Magnificat is the soulful celebration of the Good News her child brings. Mary sees a world transformed: the proud brought low, the humble lifted up, the hungry fed, and the rich learning to go without. Mary celebrates that the Way of Jesus brings justice to the earth, light to the nations … as soon as we follow his Way.
