The Birthday of Our Lady
Woman
Dipped in the instincts of heaven,
Robed in the garments of earth,
Maiden and Mother and Queen,
Wearing each crown at thy birth:
Threefold thy gift to the world,
Pluck’d from God’s ripening sky,
Tending the altar of life,
Kindred to angels on high.
– Thomas O’Hagan
For Reflection:
“Tending the altar of life…” In addition to bringing Jesus into the world, how else does Sacred Scripture show Mary as “mother?” I will do likewise in three ways today as a special birthday present to her.
Mary, my Mother,
On this your birthday, bring me to the fullness
Of life through your Son, Jesus Christ,
My Lord.
Amen.
