In her Magnificat, Mary rejoices in the great things God is accomplishing through her.  In the Gospel for Thursday of the Fourth Week of Advent, she praises God for being pregnant with Jesus, God’s good news to the poor.   My wife and I recently had our own “Magnificat” experience.   A company that had terminated her, offered her job back.  The management apologized for unjustly firing her.   God still lifts up the lowly.   How does God lift you up?
