#255: Luke 1 | The Hail Mary, Magnificat, and Benedictus
Manage episode 423946381 series 3423470
This chapter is a favorite of Catholics. It includes three of their most popular prayers: the Hail Mary, Magnificat, and the Benedictus. Each of these prayers are said and sung millions of times every day. The Liturgy would be impoverished without them.
But there is also a story that is told in this chapter. The angel Gabriel arrives in Jerusalem and helps Zechariah and Elisabeth have a baby boy - John the Baptist.
Then, six months later, Gabriel flies 95 miles north to Nazareth to help the Holy Ghost impregnate Mary.
