As we celebrate the birth of the Blessed Virgin, be inspired by what holy men and women have said about her.

Today, September 8, we celebrate the Nativity of Mary. From the moment her parents, Sts. Anne and Joachim, conceived their daughter, God had laid out a difficult but glorious path for their little girl.
