The Capacity to magnify the Lord

WORD 2day: 9th January, 2018

Tuesday, 1st week in Ordinary Time
1 Sam 1:9-20; Mk 1:21-28

It is a spiritual capacity to magnify the Lord, to exult in the glories of the Lord! The responsorial psalm presents to us the precedent of the famous magnificat sung by Mary in the gospel according to Luke: the hymn of praise and thanksgiving sung by Hannah, who realised the goodness of the Lord to her!

It is a special capacity to realise God's hand in things that happen in our daily life. Even what was so apparent to the demons, who recognised Jesus and proclaimed him as Christ, was so difficult for the people to understand! Till the end they were only amazed and kept asking who Jesus could really be! 

When things go wrong we spontaneously look to the Lord and demand for answers. But when things remain normal and calm, how ready are we to see the hand of God, and praise the magnificence of the Lord! If we are ready to believe that there are no coincidences in life, we will witness mighty miracles on a daily basis!

Look out for daily miracles in your personal and family life!
