The Magnificat (the Song of Mary)

This song would hopefully be sung in our Churches on many occasions. Bu you often do not hear it on Christmas. Mary or Elizabeth (as some might claim) sings this song of great joy. This is not a song giving praise to Mary alone though. This song should be sung by the entire Church. We all have God in our Hears. But Mary does deserve this great Honor.

Blessed art thou and Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Mary is truly the most blessed among women. She can look back to Genesis and see it is her seed, the fruit of her womb, that smashes the serpents head. It is the fulfillment of the Promise given in the Garden that was found in her womb.

Even this blessed spiritual song is not made to be praise when we see Mary and Joseph traveling through Bethlehem. There was great Joy in the Hearts of the First people to sing this blessed Spiritual Song. This is because they were glorifying the LORD. It is the Mighty One who does great things in our life. Mary knew better than others how the power of God works in people's lives.

Mary did you know that your infant child we do such great things. Mary was visited by an Angel who told her all about her child. This child would perform mighty deeds among his people. These will be great signs for the people of Israel. This is the mercy of God the Father came to his people to save them from their sins.
Mary and all of us can sing for great Joy. God takes a humble child and makes him the Savior of Nations. God makes a wilderness Nomad to be the Voice in the Desert. God does take the humble and lowly making them his treasured people.

The Magnificat is not about Mary. This song should be sung by the entire Church. We are his humble servant. He has given his Son to die for us from generation to generation. God lifts us up to new heights. This is a song for all generations who know our Savior. The God/Man is born of a Virgin. He is born to save the people of God. May all our Spirits rejoice for the gift given to His people? He does wondrous things for us. Sing this Song not for the praise of Mary but his glorious Church and all Christians everywhere.

This may not be Christmas celebration but this reminds us of the Celebration of Mary. Mary is the prominent figure of the Narrative. We do not Celebrate Mary but many people if they looking closely this time of year they will see Mary at the Center. Mary is neither the Center of this song nor the Christmas Narrative it is the Christ Child. The Child, who is the Son of God, is the Savior of the Nations. This is the true blessing born of a Virgin. Keep your focus proper.

Set Theory on the Trinity

Many Theologians are not Mathematicians. But Theologies are really into Science. For some reason there is a greater cross over between Theology and Science than any other fields unless you Separate Math and Physic into different fields. But Set Theory at its basic is the idea of taking sets of numbers or things and showing relationships. We see this in Matrices or Venn-Diagrams. Now Theologians generally speaking would use a Venn-Diagram to describe the Trinity. A Theologian would usually talk about three circles one being the Father and another being the Holy Spirit and the Other being the Son. Thus, where these circles connect that is then called God. But this means that there is part of the Son which is not God. Part of the Holy Spirit which is not God. And part of the Father which is not God. This is not true. Rather you take a list of Sets. Take Set God which contains all the attributes of God. Then you take a Set called Holy Spirit it would contain all the attributes of God and y...

The Death of the Holy Innocents

Many people die for what they believe in. Some die for righteous people. But these chosen few die on behalf of the one who will save us all. These children have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. But these children die on account of the Christ Child. Many people have been martyred because they confessed the faith. These children did not stand or even get a chance to stand. They were cut down because they were seen as the threat to King Herod. Rachael mourns for her children. Rachael died giving life to Benjamin near Bethlehem. Rachael now weeps as all the children of this town are slaughtered. But just as Rachael died giving birth to life. These children die to protect the Christ Child who left the town and will die to give all of us life. St Peter once said that he would not allow Christ to go to the cross. St Peter drew his sword in the garden to die for Christ. But only these Children truly give their life for Jesus Christ to live. Their sacrifice should b...

Biblical Marriage

Marriage is defined in Genesis as a man clinging to his wife and the two becoming one flesh. This definition is standardized even in the New Testament by both Jesus and St Paul. Therefore, we have generally said Marriage is defined as one Man and one Woman being joined together in a life long union. Most people think that this Marriage union is created through a man dressed in black and woman dressed in white walking down an aisle to be joined together before some kind of altar. But this is only a ceremony of marriage. The Bride and bridegroom are actually joined together through what is known as consummation, or proper sexual relations.  Thus, St Paul can even talk in reference to a marriage bed. This concept may be overlooked by a culture that no longer views the bed as the place where a majority of sexual activity takes place. But he states this because the marriage bed is the location in which a man and woman are joined together. Just as it was Rachael or Leah's tent in which t...
