Mary's song when she meets Elizabeth, her cousin; a song of praise to God, but also a prophecy - of how the child in her womb will be the Lord, the Mighty one, and one who will challenge those with proud hearts and stubborn wills, while the hungry will be fed and the humble lifted high. Christ's coming is good news - but even before Christ's birth, there are some who will not see it that way when they are confronted by God's commitment to all of his people instead of the chosen few. Already, Mary is taking the message of the Angel and making it her own.
