Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
You, O little Mary, Maria Bambina, are the Cause of our Joy! Your appearance in the arms of your mother announces that the Word of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God, will soon appear in your arms. And you have but one desire, one joy: to give us your Son, to draw us to Him, that your joy might be ours and that our joy might be fulfilled. Amen
I am all thine, and all that I have is thine, O most loving Jesus,
through Mary Thy most holy and Immaculate Mother.
Although a minor feast on Chirch calendar, I have always been awre & venerated the day as special. I have a close cousin & grandson who share the day so that is special to me as well. Happy Birthday Mary, Mother of Our dear Lord.
