On September 29, the Church celebrates Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, the three archangels named in Scripture.
Michael defends us in battle. Gabriel announces the Good News. Raphael accompanies and brings healing.
On their feast day, we give thanks for the protection and guidance of God’s angels and ask these mighty servants of the Lord to help us remain faithful to Christ.
Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, pray for us!

The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, one of the oldest Marian celebrations, underscores Mary’s unique role in salvation history as the one chosen to bear the Son of God. While Scripture does not explicitly record Mary’s birth, tradition holds that she was born to Saints Joachim and Anne, whose faith and righteousness prepared the way for her divine mission.
The origins of this feast trace back to the early Church, with evidence of its celebration in Jerusalem by the 5th century, possibly linked to the dedication of a church near the Pool of Bethesda, believed to be near Mary’s birthplace. By the 7th century, the feast spread to Rome and became widely observed in the Western Church. It is celebrated exactly nine months after the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, which commemorates Mary’s conception without original sin, a dogma central to Catholic belief.
Theologically, the Nativity of Mary is seen as a moment of hope, marking the dawn of salvation. Mary’s birth signifies God’s preparation for the Incarnation, as she would become the vessel through which Jesus entered the world. Her life of purity, humility, and obedience serves as a model for all the faithful, emphasizing her role as the “new Eve” who cooperates fully with God’s plan. The feast invites reflection on God’s providence and the importance of Mary’s fiat—her “yes” to God’s will.
The Feast of the Nativity of Mary encourages Catholics to contemplate her unique place in God’s plan and to emulate her virtues. It serves as a reminder of the hope and grace that her birth brought to humanity, preparing the way for Christ’s redemptive mission. Through this celebration, the Church honors Mary as the Mother of God and a powerful intercessor with her Divine Son.

Today we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which means that at the end of her life, Mary was taken into heaven, body and soul. Declared a dogma in 1950 by Pope Pius XII.
Jesus, in the Ascension, went up to heaven by His own divine power (Acts 1:9), while Mary, in the Assumption, was taken up to heaven by God’s power, as a gift of His grace (Rev. 12:1).
From her Immaculate Conception, preserved from original sin, to the virginal conception of Jesus by the Holy Spirit, Mary’s life was marked by God’s extraordinary grace. These divine events found their perfect completion in her Assumption, where she, free from sin and full of grace, was welcomed into heaven, body and soul.
Mary’s life was full of faith, trust, and love for God—from saying “yes” to the angel, to standing at the cross, to rejoicing in the resurrection. She shared in Jesus’ victory over death and now enjoys the fullness of His promise. Her Assumption is a sign of hope for us: one day, we too will be raised to eternal life with Christ.
God created the world out of nothing (Genesis 1:1), nothing is impossible for Him (Luke 1:37). Just as Enoch “walked with God, and was no more” (Genesis 5:24) and Elijah “was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind” (2 Kings 2:11), so too Mary was taken into glory.
Scripture hints at this mystery in Revelation 12:1, portraying “a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars”, a vision the Church sees as Mary in heavenly glory.
Let us trust God as Mary did, knowing nothing is impossible for Him, and live each day in faith until we share in His glory.
