Today we Celebrate the the Feast of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary : The Virgin Mary was born at Nazareth in Galilee from Joachin and Ann about 16 years before the birth of Christ. They were already old, and had almost lost hope that God would bless them with a child. In answer to their prayers, the Lord granted them a daughter, who was to be the Mother of the Messiah. The Feast of the Birthday of Mary originated at Jerusalem in early times, and was extended to the whole Church in 687 by Pope Sergius I. The Birth of Mary is closely related with her Immaculate Conception, which is celebrated on December 8, exactly nine months earlier. Many religious congregations, including the Sons of Holy Mary Immaculate, profess their religious vows on this day to signify their total love and commitment for the Virgin Mary.

My First Book of Saints.

PRAYER:

Father of mercy, give your people help and strength from heaven. The birth of the Virgin Mary's Son was the dawn of our salvation. May this celebration of her birthday bring us closer to lasting peace. Grant this through the same Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen!

Thy birth, O Virgin Mother of God,
heralded joy to all the world.
For from thou hast risen the Sun of justice,
Christ our God.

Destroying the curse, He gave blessing;
and damning death, He bestowed on us
life everlasting.

Blessed art thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
For from thou hast risen of Sun of justice,
Christ our God.

Lord God,
the day of our salvation dawned
when the Blessed Virgin gave birth to your Son.
As we celebrate her nativity
grant us your grace and your peace.
Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
