The answer is: Mary

Luke 1:46 - the scene of two happy mothers-to-be.

In the heartwarming account found in Luke 1, we discover Mary's beautiful song, often referred to as the "Magnificat." It springs forth in joy as she meets her kin, Elizabeth, who herself carries a miraculous child, John the Baptist. Picture the two moms-to-be, each pregnant with purpose and promise, bound by the miraculous nature of their circumstances. It's not just a celebration of life, but a declaration of faith.

Mary's proclamation, "My soul doth magnify the Lord," is layered with meaning. The word "magnify" suggests an amplification of God’s greatness, almost like holding a magnifying glass over a small object—suddenly, what is small is shown to be significant. This passage echoes throughout the ages, demonstrating that the divine often picks the least likely characters to fulfill important plans. This is seen repeatedly in biblical stories; look at Moses, a stutterer called to lead a nation. God’s narrative often transcends traditional expectations.

Interestingly, the Magnificat reflects many Old Testament songs, such as Hannah’s Prayer of Thanksgiving in 1 Samuel 2. This connection highlights a poetic lineage of faith among women from ancient times to this pivotal moment in salvation history. Mary’s joy becomes a universal theme of celebration among those who have encountered divine grace in their lives. So whenever you reflect on these snippets of scripture, think of the wonder and solidarity among these powerful women, past and present.
