Jeremiah 31:31-34
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

Luke 1:46-56
And Mary said,
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
 for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
 for He who is mighty has done great things for me,
 and holy is His name.
And His mercy is for those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
He has brought down the mighty from their thrones
 and exalted those of humble estate;
He has filled the hungry with good things,
 and the rich He has sent away empty.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy,
 as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His offspring forever.”
And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.

Prayer
Thank You, Father, for the gift of faith. Lord, You are my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in You, and You help me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song
I praise You. (from Psalm 28:7)
