This feast day celebrates the birth of Mary. Though sacred scripture makes no mention of her birth, since the 6th century the Church has affirmed and celebrated this feast day as a way of affirming the salvific work of Christ. The humanity of Mary is the foundation of the Incarnation– the saving truth that the word was indeed made flesh, that God did indeed become man in order to secure man’s redemption. The Nativity of Mary, the birth of Mary, is a foreshadowing of the birth of Christ who humbled himself to take on our forth so as to save us from our sins. Join Austin Habash from ThinkCatholic in praying a perpetual prayer in honor of the Nativity of Mary.
