Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Prayer

O Mother of the Living, we celebrate your Nativity with joyful hearts and humble spirits. As you were born without sin, your birth was a radiant sign of God’s great mercy and love. On this blessed day, we recall your purity, your gentle obedience, and your unwavering trust in the Divine Plan, which brought forth the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ.

O gracious Mary, our most tender Mother, we ask your intercession in our lives. Help us to follow your example of humility, faith, and constant prayer. Through your loving guidance, may we grow in virtue and become true disciples of Christ, sharing his light with the world.

You who are the keeper of divine mysteries, inspire us to honor the Incarnation with reverence and joy. Remind us daily of the gift of your Son, whose coming has transformed our lives with hope, salvation, and grace. Let our hearts reflect the beauty of your spirit, shining forth in acts of kindness and service.

O Blessed Virgin, in this time of celebration, grant us the strength to persevere in our journey towards holiness. May your tender care shield us from all harm and lead us ever closer to the infinite love of God.

We ask all this through the intercession of your Son, our Savior, and in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

It was a wonderful opportunity to introduce Horizons of Hope to our pastors and share our mission of making Catholic education more accessible through scholarships for qualifying K–12 students throughout the Diocese of Palm Beach.

We are grateful for the opportunity to build awareness and work together to help more families experience the gift of a Catholic education. ✝️

Bishop Barbarito's latest Florida Catholic column focuses on two Christian icons:

Mary and St. John the Baptist

On Aug. 29, we celebrate the Passion of St. John the Baptist. This celebration complements the celebration of his birth, which occurred on June 24. It is unique to celebrate both the birth and passing of a saint in the life of the Church since the saint’s feast is usually the day of his or her death. The other one for whom we do this is Mary, celebrating her birth, soon to come on Sept. 8, and her leaving of this world and her Assumption into heaven, which we just recently celebrated on Aug. 15. The role of Mary and St. John the Baptist are unique in the life of the Church as they were the first to encounter Christ and point to Him at all times during their lives.
