Feast for the Birth of the Blessed Mother...
Blessed birthday to the one whose 'yes' changed the world for ever. Blessed Birthday to all of us for in the birth of the Blessed Mother we too shall be born again, born in to everlasting light, born into new heights, born into new dignity.
Mary's birthday is the birthday of the renewed humanity touched by grace. In the birth of Mary, conceived without sin, we see what we ourselves shall be when grace fills us completely, we shall obtain the unhindered ability to say 'yes' to God.
This day is a day of beginnings. This day is the prequel to what will come later when Christ raised from the dead will send his Spirit to change us all.
Christ points to His mother and lets us catch a glimpse of what we ourselves shall be when we let ourselves be conquered by grace. In seeing what Christ does we can now fully understand the role of Mary.
The whole creation rejoices greatly for in Mary hope for humanity is born; soon Christ shall come, for the baby born today is forever the Mother of God, the Mother of us all.
