Sing it again, Mary!

Thirty-one years ago, my cousin, Rev. Dan Erlander, drew this depiction of Mary’s Song which is recorded in the Bible (Luke 1:46-56). How fitting it is: rout the proud, cast down the mighty and lift up the lowly! Yes, sing it again and again, Mary!

This song is special to me. I have sung it over and over again at Holden Village. Our granddaughter, Annika sang it for church when she was 8 years old.

This Advent Season at Faith Lutheran Church in Shelton, we gather to do the Holden Evening Prayer. This song is part of that worship, and it moves the heart. If you haven’t attended this service, I recommend you do it on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. It is a chance to lift up our prayers to God for peace and justice and hope, now and into the future.
