Our Mother's Birthday

We usually make it  a point to celebrate the birthday of our mother with a special gift, call, dinner, or whatever, to mark this wondrous occasion, for a mother's love is measureless, steadfast and unconditional, as is God's.  As we celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary today, what are we going to do to make this occasion noteworthy?  Through Mary comes our greatest gift, Jesus, but through the ages she has poured out her love for all of us in ways uncountable.  May we at least be mindful of her today, and offer gifts of kindness in her name to some unsuspecting recipient who crosses our path.  Let spontaneity mark the day and each time we share a smile or good word, let us pray, "It's for you, Mother.  Happy Birthday!"
