The text of today’s Gospel has inspired many great works of classical music. One of the most famous is a 20-minute choral version by Antonio Vivaldi, written between 1717 and 1719.
Vivaldi was working as choirmaster at the Pieta, an orphanage in Venice. The orphanage funded its work with a fascinating and brilliant business model: it trained orphans to sing for their supper. Vivaldi’s job was to compose pieces of music for the choir to sing before wealthy benefactors.
Mixed choirs were not countenanced in Catholic Europe in the 18th century, so at the Pieta, the boys left the orphanage and entered apprenticeships, while the girls stayed to constitute the choir. So Vivaldi composed a setting of Mary’s canticle especially for female voices.
In his score of the Magnificat, Vivaldi pitched the vocal bass parts high enough to be sung by an all-female choir. Vivaldi knew exactly what he was doing: he was taking lower-class young girls, with no hopes, prospects or protectors, and offered them, in singing this piece, a chance to bring about their own redemption and the liberation of women and girls like them. They were truly singing Mary’s song. Through them the Holy Spirit was exalting the humble and meek and sending the rich away a good deal emptier.
Vivaldi’s young female voices were “incubating” the Gospel of transformation just as Mary, in her womb, was “incubating” the Word of God.
In her Magnificat, the teenage Mary gives voice to her hope and faith in God’s re-creation of her life and world. In the birth of her son, Mary sings, God is about to turn the world upside down: Humility and selflessness will be honored. True power and authority are to be centered in compassion and generosity. Justice and mercy will be exalted. The places of honor at God’s table have been reserved for the poor, the forgotten, the insignificant — and, in God’s
scheme of things, the most influential and powerful will be assigned to wait on them. The young working-class girl from Nazareth has glimpsed the Kingdom of God that the Child in her womb will proclaim: a Kingdom of hope and possibility that includes every girl — and boy — of every time, place and circumstance.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
is a program instituted by the Church after the Second Vatican Council.
In the early Church it was adults who were attracted to Christians because of the way “they loved one another”
& how they were willing to give witness (the meaning of the word “martyr”) to their faith. The saying goes, “The blood of the martyrs was the seed of the Church.”
The program is for people who have not been baptized;
for people who were baptized in the name of the Trinity (Father, Son & Holy Spirit) who want to learn more about the Catholic faith & for those who were baptized Catholic but received no further religious education.
If you would like to know more about the RCIA please contact Fr. Leo at the parish office 315- 536-7459.

Luke 1:39-56:Today’s Gospel contains the account of the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth and of Mary’s proc- lamation of the Magnificat. Joy runs through this Gospel
reading—the joy as the cousins meet and embrace; the joy as the baby within Elizabeth’s womb leaps at the
sound of Mary’s voice; and the joy expressed in the words of the Magnificat.

All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures. You embrace with your ten- derness all that exists. Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may protect life and beauty.
Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers and sisters, harming no one. O God of the poor, help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth, so precious in your eyes.
Bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the world and not prey on it, that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction.
Touch the hearts of those who look only for gain at the ex- pense of the poor and the earth. Teach us to discover the worth of each thing, to be filled with awe and contemplation, to recognize that we are profoundly united with every crea- ture as we journey towards your infinite light. We thank you for being with us each day. Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle for justice, love and peace.
– From Pope Francis’s encyclical, Laudato Si’
