Christ as Adonai (Lord of Israel)
Isaiah 11:4-5, 33:22
The O Antiphons are prayed before the Magnificat.
“My soul doth magnify the greatness of the Lord.”
That one verse of the Magnificat is like opening a bottle of pure joy!
But sometimes is this what we sound like, “My soul doth scrutinize the purchases of my neighbor, the Catholicity of my fellow parishioners or the festive sugar intake of my sister in law’s children as they scream through the house?”
Or, “My soul doth magnify my Facebook Likes, Twitter followers and Email Subscriptions?”
How about, “My soul doth magnify my big house, shiny car and 4G phone.”
Lord, I will practice merciful charity–sometimes heroically, and each and every time, I will offer a word of thanksgiving to God the Father for His infinite mercy bestowed up on me.
Lord, I will strive for humility in all things–and each and every time I will offer a word of thanksgiving to God the Son for coming and dying for me.

That so didn’t work like I was hoping…..and I couldn’t edit?
Anyway how about this….
Oh, some of those words rang so true.
I like these better:
Lord, I will strive for humility in all things–and each and every time I will offer a word of thanksgiving to God the Son for coming and dying for me.
Work in progress…..
