The Angels rejoiced when Our Lady was conceived in the womb of Her Mother Saint Anne.   If the heaven’s rejoice how delighted   we should be and what a sense of wonder, joy, and gratitude we should have on this great occasion. Saint Anne and Saint Joaquim  were truly holy people chosen by God to be the parents of Our Lady. 

Our Lady is the glory of God, the most splendid work of His creation.  She gives more honour to the Holy Trinity, and is more powerful in heaven than all the other saints and angels put together. The source of this power is love.  She is filled with an incredible love of God.  God is love.  Our Lady is incredibly filled with the presence of God.  If we were to think of all the great and good works of holy men and women throughout  the ages they pale in comparison to what God

 

has done, and continues to do through Mary. 

He will do great things in us as well if we unite ourselves to Our Blessed Mother.  How pleased God is too, when we honour the Mother of Our Lord.  God will never forget any act we do in honour of Our Lady, so please come on this day and be blessed.  Be an apostle of Mary and encourage others too to share in the grace of this afternoon of prayers.
