My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on 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.
The advice on today’s morning programs on TV was how to accomplish all our last minute shopping. Today, for many, will be a day of hustle and bustle as the count down to Christmas begins.

Yet the Gospel for today, The Canticle of Mary (Luke 1:46-55), tells a much different story. Mary quietly reflects on what God has done for her. She tells us that she is “the handmaid of the Lord.” She recognizes that God has done great things for her and without Him she is nothing. She is a reflection of His glory and that is why we call her blessed.
Mary perfectly cooperated with the work of salvation through faith and obedience and she is the best example of how we should live our lives. Do your duties today with joy in your heart that God has also done great things for you.

Merry Christmas to you!
At Church we sing a song called Holy is His Name. One of my favorites.
I'm giving strong consideration to rejoining the choir that I was a part of for such a long time.
They are like a small family to me.

Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas! We are having a very white Christmas this year in MN, unlike last year at this time when we had no snow.
