The birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and they will call Him Emmanuel, a name which means 'God is with us'
Matthew 1:23

The Father is alongside His whole creation. So has it been since time began, so will it be till time shall end. His love gives meaning, form and substance to all He has created and endows it with the beauty and the greatness of his power.

But He has also blessed it by entering the very fibre of its being: the natural world reveals the mysteries of His love and lively purpose and man whom He invites to accept His life and share His love both with Himself and with His whole creation. This came about through the obedience and humility of one whom He prepared down countless generations to bear His Love Incarnate to the sons of men. Mary, beloved by Me the Father's Well-Beloved, and by the faithful down many centuries, made possible the redemption of the Father's world through her uncompromising love. Let all remember her today and honour her. Continually she loves and honours Me in the presence of the Father where she unites her love and prayers with My great offering and with the faithful of all times and ages.
