Christians have historically been uncomfortable with Mary’s Magnificat. When Luther translated the Bible into Herman, he left the Magnificat in Latin because the German princes took a dim view of the mighty being brought low. Thomas Cranmer did similarly when he translated the old Roman Latin missals into English, leaving the Magnificat in Latin because the royals did not care for its imagery. And yet, when Mary learns that she will bear the One who will “fill the hungry with good things and send the rich empty away,” she sings with vibrant and holy wonder. Mary’s song of hope is our song as well. Do we notice people around us signing God’s song? How about us? Can they hear us singing, too? Our message, "Can They Hear US Singing?" will come from Luke 1:39-55.
