Celebrating the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
“Rejoice, O earth, because from the womb of Anna, as from a fertile vine, has sprung a sweet, ripe cluster. To the harvesting of this vineyard all are invited, none are excluded—it is the joy of all.”
~ St. John Damascene

Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
IT's also my daughter's birthday! It makes for a lovely feast! 🙂
