MMP, #333, Sept. 8, 1989 "My birth is also cause for your hope. Even now the redemption, awaited, longed for and predicted for hundreds of centuries, is about to become a real event of your history. I am born to give birth to Jesus, your Redeemer and Savior. There brakes a new dawn for all humanity. Sin is about to be conquered, and for the spirit of Evil, the moment of his complete defeat draw near, while all creation prepares itself to receive the gift of its total renewal. For this reason, my birth becomes also a cause of hope for all of you, who love to call upon me as Mother of Hope. Do not be afraid. Have no fear. Feel at your side your heavenly Mother, whom you venerate today at the moment of her earthly birth, in order to become, especially in these your times, a cause of joy, of hope, and of consolation for all."
It is so interesting how people get confused by the Immaculate Conception. People think this mean that Mary concieved Jesus Immaculately but the Immaculate Conception was of Mary herself. Happy birthday Mary! Dearest Mother. Happy birthday! Doorway to God's doorway. Your birth, O Virgin Mother of God, announced joy to the whole world, for from you has risen the Sun of Justice, Christ our God. He released us from the ancient curse and made us blessed; he destroyed death and gave us eternal life.
Happy Birthday Morning Star! I picked up this picture of Our Lady recently for 1$ if you can believe that! I love it.
