Micah 5:1-4. Matthew 1:1-16,18-23
Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Rejoice with Me at the birthday of My beloved Mother who gave birth to the Father’s Incarnate Son to save and – through Our Holy Spirit – sanctify the sons of men who give themselves to Love’s indwelling.

The Word of the Most High in His created world is life and light and truth and the way of life eternal. Rejoice with Me today and thank your heavenly Father, Lord of all on earth and in heaven, that in and through His Word Incarnate and the obedience of My beloved Mother the faithful and obedient in the Way are brought to perfection and fulfillment in His Presence as they continue faithful in His love.

‘Mary is the flower of the field from which bloomed the precious Lily of the Valley. Through her birth the nature inherited from our first parents is changed’.
(St. Augustine)
