Sunday is Advent 4 with the theme Love, and it is also Christmas Eve. The Advent Psalm reading will be Luke 1:36-55, commonly known as The Magnificat. The Gospel text Sunday morning will look at the text describing the angel Gabriel telling Mary that she is to be the mother of Jesus. We will look at how she goes from “much perpexity” (ie terror) to a stance of faith, “I am a servant of the Lord.” The angel tells Mary that her relative Elizabeth is also miraculously pregnant. Mary visits Elizabeth. After the visit she bursts into praise. We call this song, The Magnificat. Below is a link to a spoken word rendition of this scene by a variety of women. Enjoy and be blessed as you prepare for church and for Christmas.
