GOSPEL READING: LUKE 1:39-56

Mary considered herself as the handmaid of the Lord. Her yes to the plan of God was the outcome of her acceptance that she was only the handmaid of the Lord. True liberation comes to her in her acceptance of her limitedness. Her yes made her free of her cultural, social, and personal bonds that tied her to the earthly realities.

As a liberated person she sang the glory of God and precisely that was the reason that she sang the song of liberation. It was a song of liberation from arrogance of heart and mind; liberation from evil political powers; liberation from attachment to wealth and riches. The liberation brought forth fulfillment of promises and mercies for generations to come.

மரியா ஆண்டவருக்கு ஒப்புதல் கொடுத்தாள். அந்த ஒப்புதல் அவளை ஆண்டவருக்கு அடிமையாக்கியது ஆனால் அவள் உலக> கலாச்சார> சமுதாய அடிமைத்தனங்களிலிருந்து விடுதலை அடைகிறாள். அந்த விடுதலைக்காக ஆண்டவரைப் போற்றி பாடுகிறாள்.
