SEPTEMBER 8 THE NATIVITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

God Our Father, Give Your chosen people Your help and strength. The birth of the Virgin Mary’s son was the dawn of our salvation. May our celebration of her nativity bring us closer to lasting peace and may the virtues that she modelled develop in our lives, to love You and our neighbors more perfectly. Grant this through Mary’s Son, who is Christ our Lord.

Blessed Virgin Mary, Pray for us!
