Angels rejoiced, creation was made new, and humanity was given a Mother who would forever lead us to her Son. Happy Birthday, Our Lady!
O sweet Virgin Mary, you have no idea how much you’ve helped me since the very first day of my heartbreak. You were there then, and you are here still. I love you, and I pray you will continue to walk with me all my life—now and at the hour of my death.
Blessed Mother, on this day of your birth, I thank God for the gift of you. Keep me always under your mantle, guide me to Jesus, and never let me be separated from Him. Amen.
