I’m always thinking of ways to annoy a few of you. This one just came easy –
For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed. (Luk 1:48 NLT)
All this talk of the adoration of Mary by those pesky Catholics got me thinking about this. Plus, it helped that I reading about the Magnificat in the use of liturgical prayers.
Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, “God has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed. (Luk 1:42 NLT)
So, do you still consider Mary blessed among women? Above all women? Does your generation still call her blessed?
Now… do you still call her blessed?
I do, and isnt there something about when God will bless those who bless Israel, and something about Jesus representing Israel, etc. Hmmmmm, yes Mary is blessed.
