"And Mary said, 'My soul magnifies the Lord'."(Luke 1:46)
You may recognize the beginning of the Magnificat or as it is sometimes called the Song of Mary. She says this after being greeted by her relative Elizabeth. She too has some words that have become known as part of the Rosary.
The idea of magnification is interesting to me from a faith perspective. We know that if something is small and we want to see it we might use a magnifying glass. And while I'm not suggesting that God is small by any stretch of the imagination it is in the way we show God's involvement in our lives that "magnify" God.
Another word that is similar is magnet. What if our souls magnify by also drawing us closer to God?
In what way does your life magnify the Lord? Do your actions and the way you live out your faith help others to see God more clearly?
Blessings,
Ed
