From Anglican Mainstream.
For those of us who struggle with the changes and chances of life and are frustrated by the hard knocks life sometimes renders, we receive confidence from Mary the poor, struggling Galilean peasant woman, has been chosen by God. Mary celebrates what the ‘great’ ‘saving’, ‘mighty’, and ‘holy’, God has done for her in looking on her ‘lowliness. Mary sings passionately of God’s mercy to oppressed people – God’s victory over the proud, the powerful and the rich. Good guys don’t finish last!
