"He has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate . . . He has filled the hungry, and the rich He has sent away empty." 

This is the second in a choral set of five short pieces illuminating words spoken by Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Set for unaccompanied, SSAA choir. This performance features a wonderful SSAA ensemble, conducted by Emily Halbert.

Then Mary Said: II. "He Has Brought Down the Mighty"

"Mary treasured these things in her heart."

This is the third in a choral set of five short pieces illuminating words spoken by Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Set for unaccompanied, SSAA choir. This performance features a wonderful SSAA ensemble, conducted by Emily Halbert.

Then Mary Said: III. "In Her Heart"

"On the third day there was a wedding . . ." - thus begins one of my favorite Mother Mary scenes in scripture. The wedding party runs out of wine and Mary asks Jesus (her son) to perform a miracle, "There is no wine," she said to him. He initially refuses to perform the miracle, "Woman, what does this have to do with me? My time has not yet come." Mary turns away from her son's refusal and says to the servants, "Do whatever He tells you." The rest is history, isn't it? Water was turned into wine.

This is the fourth in a choral set of five short pieces illuminating words spoken by Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Set for unaccompanied, SSAA choir. This performance features a wonderful SSAA ensemble, conducted by Emily Halbert.

Then Mary Said: IV. "There is no Wine."

"And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; For God has been mindful of me."

This is the fifth and final song in a choral set of five short pieces illuminating words spoken by Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Set for unaccompanied, SSAA choir. This performance features a wonderful SSAA ensemble, conducted by Emily Halbert.

Then Mary Said: V. "God Has Been Mindful."

Written from the perspective of Mary, the mother of Jesus, as she beholds her son on the cross, this song of lamentation would be fitting for Lent or portions of Holy Week.

Words and Music by Sarah T. Tullock:

Where must you go, my Jesus?
Where must you go, my child?
Gone, as the flowers pass upon the field.
Gone, as the sun from the sky.
Gone,
Gone,
Gone,
Gone.

Where Must You Go?

"Hail, O Lady, Mary, holy Mother of God: you are the Virgin made Church." The opening words of St. Francis of Assisi's Salutation of the Virgin Mary lay the foundation for the Saint's deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. In this episode of the #BecomeFire Podcast, the friars share how you can welcome Mary into your heart to draw closer to Jesus.

Hail, O Lady - Become Fire Podcast Ep #112

This song came through the day after Mary Magdalene's Feast Day in 2019 in Glastonbury, England. The evening before I attended a beautiful ceremony in honour of Mary Magdalene. This song was an unfolding of that experience.

"I'm speaking of the Power of God, which is called in Scripture: "Jesus Christ" [ je suis = I AM ]. Paul defines Christ as the Power of God and the Wisdom of God. Here we find wisdom and power exalted and personalized as God's companion in the creation of the world. That power is your own wonderful human imagination. That's the Power of God. That is Christ..."
