<p>A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lyncroft Centre, Toronto on December 6, 2025. The hymn of Our Lady, the Magnificat, (Luke 1, 46-55) is a pause in the infancy narrative, so that we can meditate on the events. It is as though we had to pause, think, catch our breath, and pray.</p><p>“My soul magnifies the Lord, </p><p>    and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, </p><p>for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; </p><p>for he who is mighty has done great things for me and holy is his name. </p><p>Thumbnail: The Magnificat&quot; from the Church of Reconciliation, the church of the Taize Community in France</p><p>Music: relaxing-piano-music-248868</p><p><br></p>
