Liturgical Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Message from Blessed Virgin Mary given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

The Blessed Virgin Mary says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

"Dear children, today I am happy to celebrate with you My liturgical birthday. This is the day the Church recognizes as My birthday, but as you know it is really on August 5. Few acknowledge either date. Devotion to Me has slipped in the heart of the world. More distressing is the unpopularity of love of the Holy Eucharist.* We can change all of this together through prayer and example."

"So many today are devoted to the material world - money, status and the like. They haven't the time to develop a spiritual relationship with their God. This has resulted in a worldwide lack of understanding in God's Divine Will. Some turn to Our assistance in need only. God never turns His Back on any sincere prayer. In some way, He answers in His way - in His time. Those who continue in faithfulness in prayer are Papa God's delight and are deep in My Immaculate Heart. So today, as a gift to Me on My liturgical birthday - encourage and return to a love of My Holy Rosary." **

** The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory certain principal events in the history of our salvation. There are four sets of Mysteries that center on the events of Christ's life: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and - added by Saint John Paul II in 2002 - the Luminous. The Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer that begins with the Apostles' Creed; the Our Father, which introduces each mystery, is from the Gospels; and the first part of the Hail Mary prayer is the Archangel Gabriel’s words announcing Christ's birth and Elizabeth's greeting to Mary. St. Pius V officially added the second part of the Hail Mary. The repetition in the Rosary is meant to lead one into restful and contemplative prayer related to each Mystery. The gentle repetition of the words helps us to enter into the silence of our hearts, where Christ's spirit dwells. The Rosary can be said privately or with a group.
