I like any occasion which brings the Blessed Mother more into our lives, and what better occasion than a birthday!We celebrate our earthly mother’s birthday, so why not our mother in heaven.
To Do: Make one of your favorite cakes today. (Or even that box mix that has been on the shelf for awhile.)We don’t sing or blow out candles, although if I had all young ones I certainly would, but we enjoy our cake for dessert remembering how much we love our mother in heaven and how much she loves us.
Put a vase of flowers at your Mary statue.
If your Mary garden looks like mine, it desparately needs some TLC. Today is a good day to do just that. Maybe plant some mums or other flowers there for the fall.
To Pray:
She loves to hear the rosary—this would make a great birthday gift. Or say the "Hail, Holy Queen" after dinner.
