SELFIE TIME!

•    even government heads caught up in the craze
•    like Narcissus transfixed by his own image?
•    beware idolatry of the graven image
•    churches historically made Mary’s image prominent

CHOOSING THE CORRECT ZOOM

•    Magnificat “magnifies” / glorifies God
•    not microscope but telescope: admiring something far greater

LOVE IN 4-D

•    1) LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS: helped, “has done great things for...”
•    2) LOVE IS KIND: noticed / looked with favour on humble servant
•    3) LOVE IS PATIENT, NOT RESENTFUL: God remembers to be merciful
•    4) LOVE REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH; ALWAYS TRUSTS: trust God who keeps His promises

LOVE LIFTS UP THE HUMBLE

•    unexpected gift disposed of in surprising way
