21. Magnify


"And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,

and my spirit rejoices in God my savior,

for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant." Luke 1: 46-48


*****


Most remarkable?

She was so

unremarkable.

She knew it

yet

when she was chosen

she didn't let

the small matter

of her small stature

prevent great things

from happening to her--

through her--

to us.



She simply said

let it be done

as you said.

Use my small self

for your greatness.

Magnificat anima mea, Dominum.

She showed us,

in fact,

just as clearly as a beam of light

through a pinhole

that the smaller the soul

the larger Your

magnification.
