Mary’s heartfelt expression of praise, gratitude, and trust in the Magnificat is an inspiration for our lives.

The Image of the Magnificat
The image of Mary and Elizabeth greeting each other at the Visitation, shows us how to create a sacred space to spend intentional time with the other, and honor our gifts, as we behold the work of God in each of us. As women in the Marianist Family have journeyed with each other in many varied opportunities over the years. This gathering enables us to reflect on the Magnificat and pray for continued ways to respond more justly in our world. |
