At today's Mass, in lieu of the psalm, we sung part of the Magnificat, or the Canticle of Mary. Mary goes to visit her kinswoman, Elizabeth and, just like a musical, when Elizabeth greets her, Mary breaks into song. She starts off with the great line: My soul doth magnify the Lord. From there it goes to:
He has shown strength with his arm
and has scattered the proud in their conceit,
Casting down the mighty from their thrones
and lifting up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
I couldn't help but think of the Occupy Wall Street people.
