A Feast and a Birthday

Father of mercy, give your people help and strength from heaven.  The birth of the Virgin Mary's Son was the dawn of our salvation.  May this celebration of her birthday bring us closer to lasting peace.  Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen

--From the Collect of the Mass

Blessed Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary!  And happy birthday to my special little Marie, who was born on this day six years ago.  My baby girl is six.  Here she is with me and the kiddos on her birth day six years ago:

And here she is playing her tin whistle that she got recently:

  

Happy Birthday to Our Lady and my sweet girl!!
