The song of Mary is a reminder that God has chosen not only to create the universe that we are a part of, but that God has chosen to come into our individual lives in a very special way. It is in this incarnation, that God’s love and mercy takes root in this world and brings about the re-creation of God’s Kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven.” This Christmas let’s remember that it’s not just the story of a baby born long ago, but the story of God’s spirit being born in each of our hearts…today.
