%X Luke 2:26¨C56 narrates the journey of Mary of Nazareth from the Annunciation by the angel and Mary¡¯s consent to God¡¯s calling to the Visitation with Elizabeth and Mary¡¯s prophetic song, the Magnificat. The portrait that emerges is far from the static and meek picture of Mary that dominates popular imagination. Instead, we find in Mary a woman who, like many women today, experiences fear related to her calling, finds strength and empowerment in her relationship with other women, and is emboldened to prophetically proclaim a message that inspires fear in the patriarchal powers of the world
