I need not tell you how important the Blessed Virgin Mary is in my Catholic life. We venerate her and pray that she intercedes for us because she is the one closest to God. We venerate Mary so we could worship God better. Praying the rosary almost every day keeps me at peace and calm before any big storm that comes into my life. Tomorrow, September 8 is her birthday. And this is another tribute to her.
Prayer for the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
O Virgin immaculate, thou who by a singular privilege of grace wast preserved from original sin, look in pity upon our separated brethren, who are nevertheless thy children, and call them back to the center of unity. Not a few of them, although separated from the Church, have kept a certain veneration for thee; and do thou, generous as thou art, reward them for it, by obtaining for them the grace of conversion.
Thou wast conqueror of the infernal serpent from the first instant of thy existence; renew even now, for it is now more necessary than ever before, thine ancient triumphs; glorify thy divine Son, bring back to Him the sheep that have strayed from the one fold and place them once more under the guidance of the universal Shepherd who holds the place of thy Son on earth; let it be thy glory, O Virgin who destroyest all heresies, to restore unity and peace once more to all the Christian people.
And I want to share more quotes on the Blessed Virgin Mary:
“From Mary we learn to surrender to God’s Will in all things. From Mary we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone. From Mary we learn to love Christ her Son and the Son of God!”
~Pope John Paul II~
“Mary is the lily in God’s garden.”
~ Saint Bridget of Sweden ~
“Seek refuge in Mary because she is the city of refuge. We know that Moses set up three cities of refuge for anyone who inadvertently killed his neighbor. Now the Lord has established a refuge of mercy, Mary, even for those who deliberately commit evil. Mary provides shelter and strength for the sinner.”
-Saint Anthony of Padua, Doctor of the Church
“What a joy to remember that she is our Mother! Since she loves us and knows our weakness, what have we to fear?”
– Saint Therese of Lisieux, Doctor of the Church
“May the Mother of Jesus and our Mother, always smile on your spirit, obtaining for it, from her Most Holy Son, every heavenly blessing.”
-Saint Padre Pio
