ADVENT WEEKDAY
1 Sam 1: 24-28
Lk 1: 46-56 

It is enough to mediate on the Magnificat to understand the inner sentiments of Mary and to follow her thoughts, her will and her heart (APD 1963).

From Father Tom:  Some Scripture scholars attribute the Magnificat to Elizabeth but most say it is Mary's and is based on a similar song in 1 Sam 2: 2-10. The song has two parts, the first the thanks-giving of Mary and then the thanksgiving of the nation. Unfortunately, it is the last time she will have reason to sing.
