Wednesday 23rd Week of Ordinary Time

The Birthday of the. Blessed Virgin Mary

Because Mary was destined to be the Mother of God’s only begotten Son,

She was holy and blameless in God’s sight.

She was full of love.

St. Paul however tells us in his letter to the Ephesians

that each one of us is called to be holy and blameless in God’s sight.

To be Full of Love. Eph. 1:4-5.

The birth of Mary therefore is not only a day to remember her holiness

but also a reminder that we too were created

be holy and blameless;

And full of Love as well.
