[25]Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. Stabant autem juxta crucem Jesu mater ejus, et soror matris ejus, Maria Cleophae, et Maria Magdalene. [26] When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. Cum vidisset ergo Jesus matrem, et discipulum stantem, quem diligebat, dicit matri suae : Mulier, ecce filius tuus. [27] After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. Deinde dicit discipulo : Ecce mater tua. Et ex illa hora accepit eam discipulus in sua.

Friends of the Rosary: On September 13, 1917, in the Cova da Iria, Portugal, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared for the fifth time to the three visionary children: Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco. Around 30,000 people gathered there, despite the mockery from the atheistic and secular newspapers of the time. The Virgin encouraged Lucia to pray the Rosary every day. The Holy Mary announced that in October she would perform a miracle — the Miracle of the Sun, as it happened — so all may believe. The Virgin revealed at the request of Lucia that some people would be cured, and others not, because of their lack of faith and repentance. Ave Maria!

The feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary began in Spain in 1513 and in 1671 was extended to all of Spain and the Kingdom of Naples. In 1683, John Sobieski, king of Poland, brought an army to the outskirts of Vienna to stop the advance of Muslim armies loyal to Mohammed IV of Constantinople. After Sobieski entrusted himself to the Blessed Virgin Mary, he and his soldiers thoroughly defeated the Muslims. Pope Innocent XI extended this feast to the entire Church. Reflection Mary always points us to God, reminding us of God's infinite goodness. She helps us to open our hearts to God's ways, wherever those may lead us. Honored under the title “Queen of Peace,” Mary encourages us to cooperate with Jesus in building a peace based on justice, a peace that respects the fundamental human rights of all peoples.

Friends of the Rosary: Today, we observe the feast of the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It follows the feast of her Birthday, on September 8th. The etymology of the Virgin name comes from the Hebrew name of Mary, Miryãm, (in Latin Domina), which means lady or sovereign. We call Mary our Lady as we call Jesus our Lord. And when we pronounce her name we affirm her power, implore her aid and place ourselves under her protection. Pope Benedict XVI's said that we are invited to become a trusting child of Mary as the Son of God did. Saint Bernard encouraged, "In danger, in distress, in doubt, think of Mary, call upon Mary. May her name never be far from your lips, or far from your heart … If you follow her, you will not stray; if you pray to her, you will not despair; if you turn your thoughts to her, you will not err. If she holds you, you will not fall; if she protects you, you need not fear; if she is your guide, you will not tire; if she is gracious to you, you will surely reach your destination." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • September 12, 2021, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

The Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a cause of Christian joy and wonder.   Our Lady's birth reminds us of the historical reality of our faith.  Mary was and is a real woman who lived a normal human life just like ours.  Through her, in her, our God became man to redeem us.  Her birth precedes and enables his infant birth.  In our own way, God can be born once again in us.  This happens when we imitate Mary's humility and obedient love.  https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel.”  Matthew 1:23We all love to celebrate birthdays.  Today is the birthday celebration of our dear mother.  In December we honor her Immaculate Conception.  In January we celebrate her as the Mother of God.  In August we celebrate her Assumption into Heaven and there are many other days throughout the year where we honor a unique aspect of her life.  But today is simply her birthday celebration!Celebrating her birthday is a way of celebrating her personhood.  We celebrate her simply for being herself.  We do not necessarily focus in on any of the unique, beautiful and profound aspects of her life today.  We do not necessarily look at all she accomplished, her perfect yes to God, her coronation in Heaven, her assumption or any other specifics.  All parts of her life are glorious, beautiful, awe-inspiring and worthy of their own unique feasts and celebration.Today, however, we simply celebrate our Blessed Mother because she was created and brought into this world by God and that alone is worth celebrating.  We honor her simply because we love her and we celebrate her birthday as we would celebrate the birthday of anyone we love and care for.Reflect, today, upon the fact that Mother Mary is your mother.  She truly is your mother and it's worth celebrating her birthday in the same way that you would celebrate anyone's birthday who was a member of your family.  Your honoring of Mary, today, is a way of solidifying your bond with her and assuring her that you desire her to be an important part of your life.  Happy birthday, Blessed Mother!  We love you dearly!Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.  Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.  Precious Jesus, through the heart of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, our Mother, we trust in You!Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2022 My Catholic Life!
