When young Mary learned from the angel Gabriel that she would soon be pregnant with the Son of God, she could have focused on all the hardship her pregnancy would surely bring her way. But Mary didn’t panic, of course.  In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef shows the power of praise to bring peace drawing from Mary’s Magnificat.
