Today we celebrate the feast day of Jonathan Myrick Daniels. Jonathan Myrick Daniels lived about 50 years ago. He had a life cnaging moment at the church of the Advent in Boston on Easter Day. During the singing of the Magnificat he was moved by the words of Mary to get up and do something.
His response to the Gospel was to join the Civil Rights movement.
Today, tomorrow, and every time you are in church, singing hymns, hearing the Scripture read, praying the Lord's Prayer, or reading passages from the Bible, don't just hear what the Lord is saying to you, heed it. Jonathan Myrick Daniels responded to the Gospel. Tomorrow we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. When you hear the words of the Magnificat, read at the Gospel, what will your response be?
