Et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
Holy Mary, mother of God

Here’s a conversation I have when my birthday comes around (fake date below)…

“June 2nd.”
“What year?”
“Every year!”

Some quotes from saints on the Feast of Our Lady’s Nativity…

And here’s an interesting story about a young man, John, who was puzzled that his girlfriend stopped speaking to him. He told a friend he couldn’t understand it, especially when she told him the reason. She was livid with him because, she said, he’d spoiled her birthday. John was astonished saying “I didn’t even know it was her birthday!”
Happy Feast, folks!
Happy Feast to all. A great birthday present for Our Lady would be an extra rosary!
Athanasius,
I agree – that would be a wonderful present.
Happy Feast, everyone!
O Mother Blest, is a favourite hymn of mine
Fidelis,
I love that hymn. I also love “I’ll Sing a Hymn to Mary” so I’ll try to find it and post it at some point today.
Happy Feast Day one and all!
Happy Feast – today would be a good day to pray extra hard for the Consecration of Russia – that would be a great birthday present for Our Lady.
Laura,
Yes, today would be a good day to pray extra hard for the Consecration of Russia, a good birthday present indeed for Our Lady.
A favourite hymn of mine is the Salve Regina. A prayer and hymn combined.
I said I would post I’ll Sing a Hymn to Mary, and I’ve come back to do just that. This is a version where they sing the verses twice, for some reason, and I’m not sure they’ve sung all the verses, but it’s sweet, just the same. I like it.
Love all the hymns and comments today for the Feast. I can’t find any of my favourite hymns on YouTube on a quick search, but here’s a birthday joke that made me laugh…
When I was ten my Mom told me to take my brother to a movie so she could set up for his surprise birthday party. That’s when I realized that he was her favourite twin.
Happy Feast (again!)
A very happy feast to all CT bloggers.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this Feast Day thread, in honour of the Nativity of Our Lady.
As we approach the midnight hour, I’ll close this thread to comments now.
