-55, the gospel reading for this coming Sunday, the 4th Sunday of Advent, year C. This is a well-known, much-beloved passage that includes, after her visit from the Angel Gabriel with his incredible news, Mary rushing to the Judean hill country to share the news with her cousin Elizabeth. There Mary received confirmation from Elizabeth and Mary breaks out in song. Singing about something essential about God's work in the world. "God has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; God has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty."
