Bishop Lynne Cullens has written a new blog post reflecting on the Magnificat and how we are called to speak out for those who are suffering.
'And in this song of Mary’s, we find hope for our time and a wake-up call for the Church...We need to speak out for all those who are suffering and sing a Song of Hope for this time – a song of freedom that will liberate rather than placate, that sees poverty transformed and not simply maintained. Let’s sing of the freedom Christ won for us and of the right to dignity of each of God’s children.'
