Word for Friday September 8; Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

“Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When Mary his mother was betrothed to Joseph, but
before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit…All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Behold the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son.” Matthew 1:18, 22. St. Mother Teresa said, “Mary, give me your heart: so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate; your heart so full of love and humility that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life and love Him as you love Him and serve Him in the distressing guise of the poor.” Let us pray, Lord God, Mary our Mother was made Holy and Immaculate through her
Son. We praise You for the day Mary was born, for she was to give birth to our Savior, and become Mother of us all. Through her intercession, may we become like her, and walk humbly with our God. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
