Mary Sings the Magnificat
In Your Presence - A podcast by Eric Nicolai
Categories:
Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation to families at Kintore College in Toronto, on December 22, 2023. But today we get the explosion of joy in her Magnificat: Hearing such praise from her cousin, Our Lady replied with words which have become that most beautiful hymn of jubilation: My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. Magníficat ánima méa Dóminum. It is such a rich canticle about God’s intervention in her life, that the Church mandates all priests to recite or sing this beautiful canticle. My soul magnifies, that is, it increases in me, it is a grace-filled moment of joy and anticipation. Truly a holy moment.
