My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.
Mary; Luke 1:46
 


Mary wanted God to be great in the world,
great in her life and present among us all.
She knew that if God is great, we too are great;
our life is not oppressed but raised and expanded.
It is precisely then that it becomes great in the splendor of God.
