Today is the day when the Church traditionally celebrates the birthday of the Virgin Mary.
I remember quite vividly, a story in my second grade reader about a family whose mom was mysteriously baking a pink, round cake, much to the delight of the children, although no one could figure out whose birthday it was. It turned out to be the birthday of the Blessed Mother.
Thanks so much for your post.
ReplyDeleteI have been so blessed by Mary that I am a devoted Marian adherent.
I had to laugh at the title of your post too. At today's mass, after the homliy, our pastor had the congregation sing "Happy Birthday, Mary". I felt very glad to do so! Mary's birth is a reminder for us of the soon to be arrival of our Savior.
Ad Jesu par Mariam.
