Valenkini Feast Day 2022 l Birthday of Mother Mary l St. Teresa's Church, Moullali, Kolkata

Birthday of Mother Mary.celebrated by cutting the cakes. Mother of Christ, Mother of Church, Mother of everyone.
Today, we gather with hearts full of love and devotion to celebrate a truly extraordinary day-the Eucharist celebration on the birthday of our beloved Mother Mary. It is a day of profound significance, as we honor the birth of the woman who played an unparalleled role in the divine plan of our salvation.
The birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary marks the beginning of a journey that would ultimately lead to her becoming the Mother of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Her life was a testament to faith, humility, and unwavering trust in God's providence. On this special day, we reflect on her example and the grace that radiates from her birth.
The Eucharist we celebrate today is a beautiful and sacred reminder of the life-giving presence of Christ among us. Just as Mary bore Jesus in her womb, the Eucharist brings Christ into our midst, offering us His body and blood for our spiritual nourishment. It is a moment of profound communion with our Lord and a source of strength for our faith journey.
As we come together in prayer and thanksgiving on this remarkable occasion, let us remember the qualities that endeared Mother Mary to the heart of God-her humility, her obedience, her deep faith, and her unwavering trust. These virtues served as the foundation of her life, and they continue to inspire us today.
On this blessed day, let us also remember that just as Mary gave birth to Jesus, we too can give birth to Christ's presence in the world through our words and deeds. Each act of love, kindness, and compassion is an opportunity to manifest Christ's love and grace to others.
May the Eucharist we share today be a source of inspiration, renewal, and unity for our faith community. Let us carry the spirit of Mother Mary into our daily lives, allowing her example to guide us on our own spiritual journeys. As we celebrate her birth, may we also celebrate the birth of Christ within us and share His love with all those we encounter.
May the blessings of this Eucharistic celebration and the intercession of our dear Mother Mary fill our hearts with joy, strengthen our faith, and lead us ever closer to our Lord Jesus Christ.
In faith and gratitude.
