VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLESSED VIRGIN MARY



The birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Christians is a feast day of celebration. Today, Gospel gives us the genealogy of Jesus from Abraham’s lineage through the line of David, King of Israel which has a backed history recorded from the celebration of the birthday of our blessed Mother Mary. To explore the tradition further, Jesus the Messiah is the direct descent of Abraham and David, and the rightful heir to David’s throne. God been so faithful, has out rightly shown his Love to the world and to accomplish His promises to Abraham and to David that He would send a Savior and a King to rule over the house of Israel and to deliver them from their enemies. Account of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God was also recorded in the Gospel. Mary took it upon herself believing in faith a burden of tremendous responsibility. She wholeheartedly accepts the choice to become the Mother of God and was found worthy to bear the Son of God. Notwithstanding the death punishment by stoning awaiting any betrothed woman to bear a child outside marriage. But Mother didn’t resist, she humbly submitted to God’s will. She was asked to assume a great risk. She could have been rejected by Joseph, by her family, by all her own people. She hold firm unto her believe and trust in God’s promises. That required faith and trust. Joseph, a just and God-fearing man, believed the message given to him to take Mary as his wife and to accept the child in her womb as the promised Messiah. Like Mary, we should imitate Joseph as a model of faith for us. He is a faithful witness and servant of God’s unfolding plan of redemption. Are we willing to trust and obey the Lord as Mary and Joseph did? The moral lesion we should learn from the example of the life well live by Joseph and Mary is to submit willingly to God like them, when He calls us to serve Him. AVE….! MARIA  AVE…!! MARIA AVE…!!!  MARIA
