A light to reveal you to the nations and the glory of your people Israel. Luke 2:22

There are four Canticles of Christmas in the Gospel of Luke: Mary’s Magnificat, Luke 1:46-55; Zachariah’s Benedictus, 1:67-79; the angels’ Gloria, 2:14; and Simeon’s Nunc Dimittis, 2:29-32.

These Canticles are song daily in the liturgy of the hours. They remind us of God’s promises, the fulfilment of His promise and our collective gratitude, expressed by the blessed mother. Indeed, darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. Happy octave of Christmas.!!
