Fourth Monday in Advent

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior.

The Magnificat expresses in this one line what we are all called to do in our lives. We are asked to magnify the greatness of God through our words and works and rejoice in the salvation He is offering us through Jesus Christ. We are reminded by her words that our vocation whatever it might be needs to be grounded in God and have Him as its source, center, and summit.

Do our souls proclaim the greatness of the Lord in our daily actions? Do our spirits rejoice in God our savoir even when things are most difficult for us? What are the things we do each day to remind ourselves of our vocation to proclaim and rejoice in the God News?

O Lord, we want to magnify your Greatness and celebrate your Saving Grace, inspire us to do so in the best way possible and according to our gifts and talents.

Amen.
