The Mysteries of the Rosary, Chapter Eleven: The Visita on, con nued…

“Magnificat” is the name of a li le monthly magazine that many Catholics subscribe to. For every day of the month, it has a “Prayer for the Morning,” the Mass readings and prayers for the day, a medita on related to the readings, “Prayer for the Evening” and a descrip on of the life of a saint. Interspersed with these are various other inspira onal wri ngs. I highly recommend it.

“Magnificat” is also the first word in the La n transla on of the beginning of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s proclama on to her cousin Saint Elizabeth, which, as commonly translated in modern English versions of the Bible, is: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.” (Luke 1:46) The infini ve of the verb is magnificare. It means “to prize, esteem greatly, praise or extol.”

Of course, our Blessed Mother probably was speaking Aramaic to Elizabeth, not La n. The closest we can get now to what Mary really said is the original Greek of the Gospel of Luke, which as Catholics we believe was inspired by the Holy Spirit. Luke’s account of the events surrounding the birth of Our Savior are so detailed that it’s likely he interviewed Mary herself. The Greek version of “magnificat” is a version of the verb megalyno, which means “to magnify or make great.” It doesn’t take a rocket scien st to figure out that we get our English word “magnify” from the Greek by way of La n. The two most famous sixteenth century English transla ons of the Bible (the Douay-Rheims and King James versions) did well by transla ng Mary’s words as “My soul doth magnify the Lord.”

At this point, you may be asking, “How can we magnify the Lord? Doesn’t that mean to make Him bigger? God already fills all me and space. We can’t do anything to make Him bigger.” We can’t, but we can magnify Him in other ways. For example, we can make Him be er known and open up spaces for Him to work in and through us.

Mary magnified the Lord in many ways. She surrendered her will to His. She allowed God to take on human flesh within her womb. She proclaimed God’s greatness and goodness. She encouraged her Divine Son to perform His first miracle at the wedding in Cana. She joined her sorrows to His suffering on the cross and so cooperated with Our Savior’s work of redemp on. A er the Resurrec on, she joined with the apostles and other disciples of Jesus in their work of evangeliza on. She has appeared many mes in different con nents to encourage faith in Jesus, along with repentance, repara on, prayer, fidelity and peace. Mary also magnifies the Lord by her prayers; her intercession helps people get closer to God. And she magnifies God by her virtue. She shows us how beau ful it is to be filled with God’s grace and so inspires us to be like her, to surrender ourselves to Him and be completely open to Him.

Our Blessed Mother magnified the Lord by everything she did and said. How about us? Do we magnify the Lord?

There can be a tempta on to magnify ourselves instead. Maybe we want to be no ced, appreciated, admired, respected and looked up to. We might want to impress others with our talents or accomplishments. By God’s grace, the Blessed Virgin Mary avoided those traps. Mary, pray for us, that like you, everything we do and say may point to the Lord—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and so to the source of all love, peace, goodness, contentment and happiness.

Yours in Christ with Mary, Father Rudolph

Saint Maria de Ma as

Maria was born on February 4, 1805 in Vallecorsa, a town in what was then the Papal States and is now part of Italy. She received no formal educa on, but was taught the Catholic faith by her father, who passed on to her a deep love for Sacred Scripture by reading it to her when she was s ll very young. Maria taught herself to read and write. As a teenager she was ini ally introverted and self-absorbed, but God transformed her to care for others and reach out to help them. She had a gi for straigh orward and convincing speech, and she used this along with her deep faith and experience of God’s love to speak about Jesus Christ and the mysteries of the faith to many different people. She made a special point of giving religious instruc on to mothers and their children, but people from many walks of life came to listen to her. In 1834 the local Bishop asked her to take charge of a school. She did so and went on the next year to found a Congrega on of women religious called “Sister Adorers of the Blood of Christ.” They ran schools and encouraged people to love and follow Jesus Christ and live good lives. Many women joined the Congrega on and by the

me of her death in Rome on August 20, 1866, they had seventy communi es, most of them in small isolated towns in central Italy. In his homily at Maria’s canoniza on on May 18, 2003, Saint John Paul II said: “Love for Jesus crucified was expressed in her in passion for souls and in humble devo on to her brothers and sisters, her ‘beloved neighbor’, as she liked to say. ‘Let us encourage one another’, she urged, ‘to suffer willingly out of love of Jesus who with such great love shed his blood for us. Let us work hard to win souls for heaven’.” Saint Maria de Ma as, pray for us!
