# Today is Saturday, 2023.12.16 ## Question: What did Mary mean "my soul magnifies the Lord?" ### Passage Then Mary said: - “My soul magnifies the Lord, - and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! - For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. - From now on all generations will call me blessed. - For the Mighty One has done great things for me. - Holy is His name. - His mercy extends to those who fear Him, - from generation to generation. - He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; - He has scattered those who are proud - in the thoughts of their hearts. - He has brought down rulers from their thrones, - but has exalted the humble. - He has filled the hungry with good things, - but has sent the rich away empty. - He has helped His servant Israel, - remembering to be merciful, - as He promised to our fathers, - to Abraham and his descendants forever.” Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
