Today's Gospel, the Magnificat, is like Mary's portrait of God. She describes God's features in terms of what God does:
He notices his lowly handmaid.He works marvels.He reaches out with a powerful arm.He scatters the proud.He pulls down the powerful.He raises the lowly.He feeds the hungry.He dismisses the full.He helps Israel.He remembers his mercy.
In knowing the Bible, Mary knew God.
