Mary, the Mother of our Lord

I don't travel to Europe in mid August. You can never find an accomodation around August 15th.

Europeans travel during the month of August. For people who still practice the faith, there is a reason why they travel during the middle of the month.

August 15th is the day the Christian Church remembers Mary, the Mother our Lord.

I would like to share with you the words attributed to Mary from the Gospel according to Luke.

I will let the words speak for themselves.

Happy travels during these warm August days.

And may the world God created be a better place because of what God has done for Mary and for the whole human race.

Luke 1:46-55

Mary’s Song of Praise
46 And Mary* said,‘My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, 48for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 49for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. 51He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. 52He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; 53he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. 54He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.’
