7. Christmas Reflections Why does God allow what God allows? If God is so good...why this? God if you’re so good and I try to do the right things, why is this happening to me? Why do some people get more and more, while others get less and less? Why does God allow stuff like famine? Why is the world so unfair? Why is life so unfair? God, where are you?

10. Revolutionary Song Mary - aged 14 "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors."
