Nativity of Our Lady
Posted by Fr. Bruno M. Shah, O.P. on 08 Sep 2010 | Tagged as: Liturgical Feasts
The radiant and manifest coming of God to men most certainly needed a joyful prelude to introduce the great gift of salvation to us. The present festival, the birth of he Mother of God, is the prelude, while the final act is the foreordained union of the Word with flesh. Today the Virgin is born, tended and formed, and prepared for her role as Mother of God, who is the universal King of the ages.
