Today is the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We must worship and adore God because of His infinite love for the Blessed Virgin Mary. God from all eternity had great plans for the Blessed Virgin. Today is a day to rejoice with the Mother of God in all the favors conferred upon her by Almighty God. Today is a day to thank the Blessed Trinity in their immense love for her.
When we have a true devotion to the Mother of God we must know that this devotion is none other than a reflection of the same love, respect and submission with which Christ Himself honored her while He walked the earth. We also honor the Blessed Virgin Mary because of the perfection with which God bestowed upon her. We venerate her because of the service and honor she herself gives to the Almighty God. Finally, we acknowledge Mary because of the powerful blessings we receive through her intercession.
We should offer the Blessed Virgin Mary our body, soul, heart, mind and very life. We must also pray that we lead others to the same sentiments. The most efficacious means, however, of honoring the Blessed Virgin is to imitate her virtues. We must be humble and submit to the will of God in our lives. We must be pure and have a hatred for sin in all forms. We must show our love for God by our charity toward one another. We must be patient, meek, and zealous for the Kingdom of God.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.
In Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
