Sometimes we feel like our own inner world is the one that needs to be turned upside down. We see pictures of everyone’s fabulous lives on social media and it reminds us of how much we long for the deep connection with another, a connection we can’t ever seem to obtain. We empty ourselves caring for an ailing loved one and wonder if our own inner reserves will ever be filled again. Luke’s beatitudes and Mary’s song are for us to. God’s power comes out to meet us and to turn our world around, making our hearts to sing again, perhaps at first in a whispering song of tentative hope, and then later a full-voiced aria of rejoicing as God’s stronger-than-death love brings spring to our wintry hearts.
