    The Magnificat hearkens back to Hannah’s prayer of Thanksgiving in 1 Samuel 2. Mary and Joseph, however, did not take the clue from Samuel’s parents in allowing their “miracle boy” to grow up and serve in the Temple. Jesus, when he was twelve years old and in Jerusalem with Mary and Joseph rightly assumed he should remain in his Father’s House. Luke 2:41-49
