December 17, 2023 | Inés Velásquez-McBryde | Ruth 4:11-12 → Luke 1:46-55
Mother Ruth secures the steps and seeds of the Messiah and we hear echoes of her hope in Mary's Magnificat. Our very own Nicola Patton re-writes Mary's Magnificat in Ruth's voice. We linger in Mary's words. She speaks from her soul. She magnifies El Shaddai which means "from the bosom of the mother". And she sings overshadowed by the Spirit. Ruth and Mary invite us to sing a song ourselves.
