Praise to the Virgin Mary: In Luc 1:48 a prophecy is made about the Virgin Mary, saying that “all generations will praise her” and how well it has been fulfilled in these last two thousand years. All generations have praised her, with all works of art. The Virgin Mary is the woman, in the history of humanity, to whom more poetry, and songs, and paintings, and sculptures, and chapels, churches, basilicas, and cathedrals have been dedicated, in all parts of the world. And every second of every day, for these two thousand years someone has been saying “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women”: (Luke 1:28, Luke 1:42) .

The Hebrew term hillel translates as a. It is the action of proclaiming or recognizing the virtues of another person. Thus, Pharaoh’s servants saw the beauty of †¢Sarah †and praised her before him† (Gen 12:15). † ¢ Absalom was † œpraised for his beauty † (2Sa 14:25). “Let a stranger praise you and not your own mouth” (Pro 27:2) is a warning against self-praise. The A. to God is the act of recognizing, proclaiming and blessing the virtues, greatness, beauty and glory, both of him and of his works. His being our God makes it natural for us to praise him (Exo 15:2). The purpose of God’s people is to publish their a. (Isaiah 43:21). The A. comes out of a joyful heart (1Ch 16:35). In prayer, the a., petitions, supplications and thanksgivings are distinguished.

The Psalms, book of a. par excellence, it teaches us, among other things, that: “Jehovah is worthy of praise” (1Ch 18:3); The A. to God it is “soft and beautiful” (1Ch 147:1). One must arrive † œinto his presence with a.† (1Ch 95:2; 1Ch 100:4; 1Ch 145:3); God “dwells among the a. of Israel† (1Ch 22:3); We praise God for “his righteousness” (1Ch 7:17); his † œpower of his † (1Ch 21:13); the † œword of his † (1Ch 56:4); “his mercy” (1Ch 63:3; 1Ch 107:8); “his holiness” (1Ch 97:12); his goodness (1Ch 100:5; 1Ch 106:1); by the greatness of his name (1Ch 138: 1-2); for his salvation (1Ch 27:6; 1Ch 40:3; 1Ch 142:7); for the answers to our prayers (1Ch 118:21); by the creation of him (1Ch 96: 5-6).
to God those who fear the Lord (1Ch 22:23). Those who dwell in his house (1Ch 84:4); “in the congregation of the saints” (1Ch 22:22; 1Ch 149:1); “in the meeting of elders” (1Ch 107:32); in the † œholy temple of him † (1Ch 138:2). And they do it with sincerity and uprightness of heart (1Ch 9:1; 1Ch 86:12; 1Ch 119:7); with joy (1Ch 28:7); with dance, songs and musical instruments (1Ch 43:4; 1Ch 69:30; 1Ch 69:71.22; 1Ch 149:3). One day “all the kings of the earth” and “all the peoples” will praise the Lord (1Ch 67:3, 1Ch 67:5; 1Ch 117:1; 1Ch 138:4). Just as all creation sings his glory because “the heavens declare the glory of God” (1Ch 19:1; 1Ch 145:10).
the NT term is aineo. The angels †œpraised God, and said, Glory to God in the highest…† (Luke 2:13-14). †¢Prayer.

tip, LEYE DOCT Action of glorifying God, of extolling and blessing him especially with hymns and songs (2 Chr. 7:6; Ps. 28:7; 40:3; 95:1, 2; 149:1-3; 150 ), music and dance. Praise is one of the manifestations to which the Bible is frequently invited, many of the Psalms belonging to this type of prayer. In reality, praise and thanksgiving are often found in Scripture in the same movement of the soul, and on the literary level in the same texts. God reveals himself worthy of praise for all his benefits to man. Praise comes naturally as thanks and as a blessing for the benefits received, and the examples are numerous (Ps. 35:18; 69:31; 109:30; Ezra 3:11). Praise and thanksgiving elicit the same outward manifestations of joy, especially in worship gatherings and where believers repeatedly render glory to God (Is. 42:12; Ps. 22:24; 50:23 ; Luke 17:15-18; Acts 11:18; Phil. 1:11; Eph. 1:6, 12, 14). Praise tends more to the person of God than to his gifts; it is very close to adoration, on the way to ecstasy. In hymns of praise God is sung because he is God. Christian praise has its essential movement in the praise of the Old Testament, but it is distinguished because it is aroused by the gift of Christ Jesus, who manifests his power in the redemption of the human race and in the individual salvation of each man. Such is the meaning of the praise of the angels and the shepherds on Christmas night (Lk. 2:13-20), like the praise that Christ receives from the mouths of the crowds after the miraculous healings (Mr. 7 :36; Luke 18:43; 19:37; Acts 3:9); this is the meaning of the praise of the Jews on Palm Day, before their Passion (Mt. 21:16), and this is also the meaning of the song of the Apocalypse (Rev. 15:3). Some fragments of early hymns, preserved in the letters of St. Paul, reproduce the echo of this Christian praise addressed to God the Father, who has revealed the mystery of salvation in Christ Jesus (1 Tim. 3:16) and who will make Christ return glorious at the end of time (1 Tim. 6 :fifteen). Sentiments of prayer that express gratitude for the mystery of Christ (Phil. 2:5; Col. 1:5) and for the gift of salvation (2 Tim. 2:11) and expressing the true Christian faith (Eph. 5: 14).

God is revealed by his works as worthy of praise. He also wants to be praised. Man, therefore, must praise God. Praise is gratitude and blessing with a manifestation of joy and gladness (Lk 17:15-18). It focuses on the exultant proclamation of the greatness of God (Mt 9,31; Lk 2,38). In the OT the psalms of praise are famous. In the NT, the hymns of (Lk 1,45-55) and of (Lk 1,68-79). Praise is also sung (Mt 26,30; Lk 2,13. 20; 19,37; 24,53). In the gospels, praise is essentially Christian, it is provoked by the manifestation of the power and divinity of Jesus Christ: praise of angels and shepherds (Lk 2:13-20), of the multitudes after the miraculous works of Jesus (Mk 7,36ff; Lk 18,43; 19,37), of the apostles in the temple (Lk 24,53), the hosanna of Palm Sunday (Mt 21,16). Praise is even addressed to Jesus himself in person (Mt 21:9). The praise, finally, must be done with a filial spirit, in imitation of how He addressed it to the Father (Mt 11,25; Lk 10,21). The life of man, especially that of the Christian, must be a continuous “praise of the glory of grace” of God. ->on; Magnificat; benedict.

Sometimes the doubt may arise that it is unrealistic to praise God while people suffer, are poor, do not have a job; as long as there is violence and war in the world. We are afraid that, in a certain sense, this praise of God is like putting a blindfold on our eyes. However, I think we have to have more courage. If we begin to look at the world with the eyes of God, and therefore to praise him for the good he does, we will be better able to distinguish good from evil and penetrate the sufferings of humanity. The meaning of praising God is the first realism: it is the contemplation of the world as a place of goodness, mercy, love of God, love of Christ for man, the poor, the sick, the one who suffers, for me, for us. for this Church. Therefore, we have to learn to look in our own personal experience for the real reasons for praising God. And the truth is that there are many! Sometimes it turns out that the Lord’s gifts seem obvious to us and we are not surprised by them: the fact, for example, of being here together, of not having lost faith, of having persevered in our vocation, are all immense gifts. In our day and in our life we ​​should get used to looking for the different circumstances, so that everything can be transformed into a reason for praise. Maria, in the Magnificat, sings an Immense praise that encompasses the universe. We could say: but, deep down, what has Maria seen? For a few minutes she has contemplated an angel that we don’t even know exactly how he appeared to her. She has heard a kind word from Isabel, and she is done. They are two small events in which she has read, going through the knowledge of God, a universal project. This means that praising God does not require much: it is enough to know how to interpret an event in which God manifests himself, so that from it we can go back to the Almighty, to the God whose name “is Holy”, and whose mercy “reaches his faithful from generation to generation. From the psychological point of view, it is enough to concentrate on a small circumstance to deduce all the others.
