Here
is a statement of faith for use with Mary’s song of praise in Luke 1: 46-55. It

Statement
of faith
(May
be used following the reading of Luke 1:46-55,
or
a sermon on that passage)
Our souls magnify the
Lord,
and our spirits
rejoice in God our Saviour,
for he looks with
favour upon us
and sees our
unrealized potential.
In the tradition of
Mary,
and all who have said
“yes” to God,
we stand here today,
to add our assent to
theirs.
Like Mary, we feel
overwhelmed;
we wonder if we are
worthy,
or capable, of
following the calling.
Like Mary, we have
our questions
and we will not be
afraid to ask them.
Like Mary, we will
hear and ponder
the assurance that
God will empower us.
Like Mary we will
strive to say -
“Let it be with us
according to your will.”
To whatever God is
inviting of us
at this time in our
lives,
and relying on God’s
grace,
we say “yes.”
