Beschreibung
One of the most beautiful prayers in the Bible is the Magnificat – the canticle 'My soul magnifies the Lord.' According to Luke's account (Lk 1:46–55), Mary sang it before the birth of her son during a visit to her relative Elizabeth. The Western Church has included it in the evening prayers – Vespers – while the Eastern Church prays it in the morning. Jaroslav Brož's book reveals the depth and simple beauty of this prayer. Mary teaches us to live in close connection with Jesus. She reminds us of God's humility and loving care for every person. We can sing the Magnificat in the joy of Bethlehem and in the pain of Calvary, filled with gratitude at Jesus' empty tomb and in the assembly of the Church on Pentecost. Let us enter into Mary's prayer and allow ourselves to be captivated by the One who has done 'great things' for us and for the whole world. The book will serve to deepen the spiritual life and prayer of individuals and communities.
