Who doesn’t LOVE birthdays? And, what better occasion do we have to honor our Blessed Mother than on her birthday, September 8th!
We celebrate our earthly mother’s birthday, so why not our mother in heaven?
Make one of your favorite cakes for the celebration. (Or even that box mix that has been on the shelf for awhile.) We don’t sing or blow out candles, although if I had all young ones I certainly would. We just enjoy our cake for dessert, remembering how much we love our mother in heaven and how much she loves us.
The Blessed Mother loves to hear the rosary—this would make a great birthday gift!
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
