Ave Maria!
In preparation for the Feast of the Visitation on Friday, May 31, some contemporary renditions of the canticle composed by Our Lady during her Visitation to St. Elizabeth
Magnificat, The Canticle of Mary – YouTube.
Luke 1:46-55, The Canticle of Mary in song. This is Mary’s great exaltation of Praise to God. For in her visit with Elizabeth, Mary’s faith is validated, that She will be the Mother of Israel’s and the world’s Savior – Jesus Christ! And so, with Rejoicing and Thanksgiving for all His mighty deeds, His mercy on the lowly and His fulfillment of Covenant – Mary’s Soul bursts forth with Joy to the Lord.
This video clip may be seen as three views – The praise of God (“Holy is His Name”) by 1. woman and 2. man alike and 3. the Rejoicing of the Soul (“My Soul Rejoices”) by all who recognize God’s omnipresence, as Jesus and the Holy Spirit truly lives within each and every one of us!! Thanks for watching and may our loving God bless you always!
