Magnificat: Mary's Righteous Anger

A message from the series “Advent”, given by Pastor Scott Austin on Dec. 10, 2023.

The Magnificat, Mary's hymn of praise to God, is full of righteous anger at the injustices of her world—and ours. We can easily imagine her with her fist raised in protest! Yet we must not move too quickly toward an unrighteous anger. Following the example of Mary at the Annunciation, we can see two other gestures of Mary that prepared her heart to sing such a song.
