Mary’s Magnificat: The Christmas Song We Need in 2024

This Christmas, we celebrated with Mary the mercy God showed the world in Jesus. This act is one of mercy, not just for God’s people Israel but, as the Angel would tell the shepherds, for “all those with whom he is pleased!” Christmas, as an act of mercy, promises peace. Peace between God and man, yes. But, through that peace, a peace between nations and neighbors as well. In our war-torn times, that is a message we need to hear in 2024, a message political in nature and comforting in its content.
