Today (August 5th) We Celebrate the Birthday of Most Holy Virgin Mary
Although the feast of the nativity of the Virgin Mary is celebrated in the liturgy on September 8th (a conventionally chosen date), there are several Marian revelations indicating that Virgin Mary’s birth actually occurred on August the 5th, the most recognized being the given in Medjugorje.
On Aug. 2018, Jesus indicated to Luz de María that He wanted His Mother to be honored especially on Her birthday:
My People, My Mother, as the Blessed Princess/Infant, beseeches each one of you to be at every instant living temples of My Holy Spirit, AND AS HER SON (cf. I Cor 3,16-17), I WANT MY PEOPLE TO HONOR MY MOTHER BY ENTERING INTO HER IMMACULATE HEART AND ASK FOR HER PROTECTION ON HER BIRTHDAY. Heaven celebrates such an Exalted Princess/Infant; may you, children, embrace the Graces that you obtain from Heaven on such a great date.
Our Lord Jesus Christ to Luz de María – Aug. 05, 2018
Today (August 5th), is then a special date to offer Mary a special gift. With that purpose, we are proposing you some options for this date:
- If you are away from the Church, to attend Mass and make a sacramental confession.
- To Join a parish group of prayer or assistance to the poor.
- To Make a pilgrimage to a temple you don’t know yet.
- Renew the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
- Perform some of the Works of Mercy, e.g. give a great amount of alms.
- Pray the Holy Rosary.
