10 days till All Saints Day!!

Let’s make ora pro nobis trend!!

(My boyfriend and I met on here on All Saints’ Day and do novenas to so many of them, so we like that our anniversary is the day that celebrates them all 💕❤️ we’re praying for a place to live and are asking for their prayers and yours!)

Today’s saint Story:

I was a missionary and we had to choose a patron saint for our group. I suggested St. Thérèse, and the mean hotshot jock bully on my team (I’ve found too many men like that in our churches and ministries) said he didn’t want her to be our patron because she’s a girl. When there were two girls on our team.

Then, St. Thérèse was at every single church we went to.

That guy was the one who kept saying, “You don’t pick your patron. They pick you.”

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly.

Magnificat.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

my spirit rejoices in God my Savior

for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed:

the Almighty has done great things for me,

and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him

in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm,

he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,

and has lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel

for he has remembered his promise of mercy,

the promise he made to our fathers,

to Abraham and his children for ever.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit:

as it was in the beginning, is now,

and will be for ever.

Amen.

What does it mean you support the Magnificat? Genuine question, I am catholic but never heard about that term

The Magnificat is a canticle/prayer/song, also known as The Song of Mary! It's found in the Bible, amongst narrative of the Visitation, (Luke 1:46-55) when the Virgin Mary goes to visit her elderly pregnant cousin, Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist). Magnificat means "my soul magnifies the Lord".

The Magnificat is a deeply revolutionary hymn. Many leftist/working-class Christians throughout history have particularly taken a stronghold to it. Especially, since it says some really beautiful lines like:

"He [God] has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty." [x]

For more modern instances, we have 'The Magnificast', which is precisely a leftist Christian podcast. And we have work like Ben Wildflower's Magnificat woodcut, who is an Episcopalian anarchist. It's also deeply meaningful within Catholic Latin American/liberation theology history.

To me, being a "magnificat supporter," is a funny/niche/cheeky way of saying where my politics lie. i'm a leftist !

So, the "There Are Their Stories" podcast YouTube account uploaded a video asking: Why are you drawn to Bobby Goren?

Oh, and they also have another video discussing "Magnificat". Nice to see CI getting a bit more love there:
