Friday 22nd Week of Ordinary Time

 

The Birth of Mary

Who of us chose to be born?

Who of us chose our parents?

Who of us chose what city, what country to be born in?

None of us.

St. Paul says we were chosen before the world began to be holy and blameless in God's sight, to be full of Love." Eph. 1:4

And so was Mary!

Before Mary was even conceived in the womb of St. Ann,

God had chosen her before the world began to holy and blameless, and full of love.

The birth of Mary reminds us that before each child is born;

Before Each one of was born into this world

We were chosen by God;

Loved by God;

And called to live a life of holiness.
