The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary | Why the Church Celebrates Her Birth

About this sermon

Brethren, this day is consecrated by the birth of the one chosen from all eternity to bear in her womb the Son of God — the Blessed Virgin Mary. ✨ In this sermon, we reflect on the Nativity of Mary (September 8th), one of only three birthdays celebrated by the Church: Jesus Christ (Christmas, December 25th) St. John the Baptist (June 24th) The Blessed Virgin Mary (September 8th) Why does the Church celebrate Mary’s birth? Because she was born already holy — preserved from original sin through the mystery of the Immaculate Conception. Unlike us, who are redeemed by forgiveness, Mary was redeemed by preservation, made immaculate from the first moment of her existence to be a pure vessel for Christ. 🌹 This sermon addresses: Why Mary’s birth is unique among the saints How Mary was predestined before creation to be the Mother of God (Theotokos) Why Protestants often misunderstand Marian privileges The theological foundation of the Immaculate Conception Why devotion to Mary is essential for our salvation 💡 “Behold your mother.” (John 19:27) — Christ gave us His own Mother. To love Mary is to love Christ more deeply. 🙏 Let us rejoice in the dawn of salvation, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and grow in love and devotion to her, our Mother and Refuge.
