1st Reading: 1 Samuel 1: 24-28
Gospel: Luke 1: 46-56
The first reading is about the prayer of a wife (Hannah) who is praying to have a child. God answered her and gave her Samuel. While the gospel is about the Song of Mary.
While Hannah can be attributed to her trust in the Lord and being generous of what was given to her. She offered her child to the Lord for she believes, the child belongs to the Lord since she asked for it. Mary on the other hand is obedient and believes what is said to her will became true.
Being humble is both emphasized in the readings today. The importance of prayer reminds us that God is around us and willing to guide and help us in whatever endeavor we want in this life.
The first reading and the gospel are connected in the sense that these readings are talking about giving birth. The hope that is with these two individuals given by God will change the people of the world. Their coming to the Earth influences us that it creates an everlasting memory and teachings.
