“The Son of God became man for our salvation, but only in Mary and through Mary.”
These profound words remind us of the incredible role that Mary, the Blessed Virgin, plays in our salvation story.
Today, September 8, we gather in joy and gratitude to honor the birth of Mary—the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of all believers. Born into a world that needed hope, she emerged as a beacon of faith, humility, and love. Her unwavering “yes” to God became the bridge through which divine grace entered our lives.
Mary’s life is woven with moments of deep faith and resilience. From the Annunciation, where the angel Gabriel revealed her extraordinary purpose, to her enduring presence at the foot of the Cross, she embodies true devotion. As a young girl from Nazareth, she showed us what it means to trust in God’s plan, no matter how daunting it may seem.
As we celebrate her nativity today, let us reflect on the virtues she exemplifies: compassion, grace, and unwavering faith. Let us be inspired by her love, which knows no bounds and extends far beyond her own family—embracing every soul.
May Mary’s humble beginnings remind us that greatness can emerge from simplicity and that our own ‘yes’ to God can shape the world around us.
