Honor Mary on Her Birthday
Today, I invite you to include your intentions in this year’s birthday celebration honoring Our Lady. As you may know, the Church observes the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8.
A birthday candle will burn beside Our Lady’s Shrine Altar during AMM’s octave (eight days) of prayer beginning September 8 and concluding on September 15.
If you send me your personal prayer intentions, we will join you in asking Mary to obtain for you the graces and favors you are seeking. It is a wonderful opportunity to ask for a special blessing, or simply offer a petition of gratitude to Our Blessed Mother for the love she has shown you. You may also request a Votive Light to burn for your intentions.
I look forward to receiving your prayer intentions, and (if you choose) a charitable gift to support AMM’s ministry of love and hope. Thank you, and God bless!
Sincerely in Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Kevin McCracken,C.M.
Spiritual Director
