Contributed by Stephen Weatherby on Aug 23, 2021

Attaining True Human Dignity Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 18, 2021

During this Christmas season, it makes sense that we should follow Mary’s prophetic declaration, “all generations will call me blessed”, by praying her prayer, the Magnificat, and asking God to give us the same spirit of obedience she had.
