The Nativity (Birthday) of Mary Feast day: September 8
(Painting: St. Anne with child Mary) The traditional date for the feast of Our Lady’s birthday is September 8 and occurs exactly nine months after the Solemn celebration of her Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8). Perhaps because of its close prox-imity to the Feast of the Assump-tion of Mary (Aug.15), the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is not celebrated with the same solemni-ty as the Immaculate Conception. It is, nonetheless, a very important feast, because it prepares the way for the birth of Christ. Scripture
does not record Mary's birth. The earliest known writing regarding Mary's birth is found in the Proto-evangelium of James (5:2). From it, we learn the names of Mary's parents, St. Anne and St. Joachim, as well as the tradition that the couple was childless until an an-gel appeared to St. Anne and told her that she would conceive. In the Church’s commemoration of Saints, most saints are remem-bered on the day of their death, that is their “birthday into the Lord.” However, in the cases of Mary and John the Baptist, it also celebrates the day of their earthly birth. The reason for this is the singular mission that was theirs in the History of Salvation.

Be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. – Romans 12:2
QUOTES ON THE EUCHARIST The hidden treasure…is Jesus himself, the Kingdom in person. In the Sacred Host, he is present, the true treasure, al-
ways waiting for us. Only by adoring this presence do we learn how to receive him properly-we learn the reality of communion. - Pope Benedict XVI

In America, the freedom of religion is foundational and fundamental. Our Constitution, it is often said, calls for a 'separation of church and state.' How should we understand this prescription, and what does it require of religious believers and institutions that engage in public and political life?
