The “Magnificat” (“My soul magnifies the
Lord”) is the testimonial song of Mary. We could say that at a certain moment
Mary is unable to contain all in her heart and explodes on an experiential
level and on a level of awe. Experiential! Only she who has had this experience
could speak of it to us; in the Magnificat the Madonna exalts the greatness and
the power of God along with her own poverty and nothingness, and therefore, she
witnesses to the All of God and to the nothingness of herself. All this is
profound awe in Mary. (The Witness)
