Luke 1: 46-55
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
and exalted those of humble estate;
53 he has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
55 as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

This is really beautiful – such a testament of her meditation and joy – pointing to God!
I like the “life” represented by the growing vine on her. I didn’t realize until now that there is a dove!
Pure joy and amazement! Michelle, you communicated these sentiments in this beautiful work of art. I’m grateful for it.
Conveys the text so well and excellent rendering!
