Friends of the Rosary,

Today, September 8, as the Church has done from the earliest times, we rejoice in the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin

“Mary was of the lineage of Abraham, born of the tribe of Judah and of the progeny of King David, from whom the Son of God was born, made man by the work of the Holy Spirit, to free humanity from the ancient bondage of sin,” as The Roman Martyrology states.

Born immaculate and full of grace, Mary was conceived to be the mother of the Savior of the world, the spiritual mother of all men, and the holiest, most perfect of God’s creatures.

By the will of the Trinity, through her, all grace is given to men.

In Mary, Queen of heaven and of earth, all human nature is exalted.

This feast of the nativity of Mary is one of the three birthdays in the Church Calendar—the Birth of Jesus (December 25), the Birth of John the Baptist (June 24), and the Birthday of Mary. All three were born without original sin, although Mary and Jesus were conceived without sin, and St. John was cleansed of original sin while in the womb at the Visitation of Mary.

Let us often call upon the Blessed Virgin as “Cause of our joy”, one of the most beautiful titles in her litany.

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
