Mary
Mary
Mother of Jesus; her 'yes' to the angel echoes through every generation of the church.
Teaching prompt
Mary's Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55) is a song full of scripture. What does she know about God?
Reflection
What would your own 'song' look like if you had to summarise what God has done for you?
Points to Jesus
Mary carries the promised Seed of Genesis 3:15 — the one through whom God Himself enters the line of Abraham and David. Galatians 4:4 sums it up: 'when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman.'

- Luke 1:34–38: How does Mary's response to Gabriel compare with Zechariah's in Luke 1:18?
- Luke 1:46–55: Which Old Testament voices do you hear echoed in the Magnificat?
- John 19:25–27: What does Jesus' care for Mary from the cross show you about Him?
