Take It With You!

Throughout the Advent Season, consider the following meditations to aid you in your celebration of the Christ child.

We have life and limb, members, reason, ability, and honor from God, and yet we boast of these things as if they are ours, though they are not ours but God's... This is not the way the beloved Virgin does things here (Luke 1:46-55). "My soul," she says, "doth magnify the Lord," that is, I praise and extol God, not just with my mouth but with my heart and my life, with all my strength and members; and with all my soul I want to sing and praise God. For "soul" means nothing else than our whole being, which speaks, hears, sees, eats, drinks, and thinks. In short, everything that pertains to my life; with my hair, my blood, with my whole being. I want to sing the Magnificat and thus praise and extol a gracious God.
- Martin Luther, A sermon for the Day of Mary's Visitation, 1532.
