The Nativity of our Most Holy
Lady the Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary
Your nativity, O Virgin Mother
of God, heralded joy to the universe; for from you rose the Sun of
Righteousness, Christ our God. He redeemed us from the curse, He gave the
blessing, and by trampling Death, He gave us everlasting life. |

Genesis 28:13-17 - And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, "I
am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the
land on which you lie I will give to you and to your descendants; and
your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall
spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the
south; and by you and your descendants shall all the families of the
earth bless themselves. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever
you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you
until I have done that of which I have spoken to you." Then Jacob awoke
from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place; and I did
not know it." And he was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place!
This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of
heaven." |

Ezekiel 44:1-3 - Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the
sanctuary, which faces east; and it was shut. And he said to me, "This
gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter
by it; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered by it; therefore it
shall remain shut. Only the prince may sit in it to eat bread before the
LORD; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gate, and shall go
out by the same way." |
|
|
|
Proverbs 9:10-11 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. For by me your days will
be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. |
|
|
|
Luke 1:46-49 - "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who
is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. |
|
|
|
Philippians 2:5-8 - Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours
in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count
equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the
form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in
human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death
on a cross. |
|
|
|
Luke 11:27-28 - As [Jesus spoke], a woman in the crowd raised her
voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the
breasts that nursed you!" But he said, "Blessed rather are those who
hear the word of God and keep it!"
