HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR BLESSED MOTHER, MARY

Send us a text

Brothers and sisters, today we celebrate with joy the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary to thank God for the gift of Mary to the world. This celebration today is one of God’s love for humanity. We celebrate her because of the pivotal role she played in salvation history - the story of God’s relationship with humanity. It is the dramatic story of God’s calling and reaching out to restore the rebellious/disobedient family of Adam to the Trinitarian Family. 

Mary is the means by which Jesus comes into the story, into history. Mary is wonderfully made by God for a purpose. She is born, tended and formed to become the Mother of the Saviour.
Mary is able to perform her role in salvation history because of her faith and obedience. She fulfills the will of God perfectly in her life because of her faithful response to God’s word.

Each and every one of us is unique and is wonderfully made according to the purpose of God.
We pray that like Mary we will respond generously, with faith hope and love to God's calling to love Him and our neighbour.
 Amen.
