Today is the day the Church celebrates the Birthday of the Blessed Mother. Does anyone out there do birthday parties for the Blessed Mother?
We have a cake and sing Happy Birthday. I remember years ago my sister's college age friends always had a big birthday party, with games and prizes and cake and dinner and of course, a Rosary and Hymn sing (with Happy Birthday added in to the Hymns).
Mary undid what Eve did, opening the way for our salvation, just as Christ undid what Adam did, saving us. I'm always impressed with the way God can write a story. That was very neat- bad angel leads the woman to say no to God, paving the way for the man to say no to God, mankind falls. Good angel asks the Woman to obey God, she says "yes" to God, paving the way for the Man to say "yes" to God, mankind is saved.
Thanks, Mom! And Happy Birthday.
