September 8, 2008 - Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary

One of the most awaited day for most Catholics especially those Marian devout Catholics is the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Today we are commemorating one of the most significant events that happen in the lives of humanity is the birth of the lady who will crush down the serpent's head. Her Immaculate Conception, being first on the list, her Nativity could also be regarded as one of the most mystical or mysterious event that occured throughout the history of human kind.

The role of our Blessed Mother in our lives is so significant, in fact without her, many will be damned. The Blessed Mother is not just a Mother to us all. She is also the Mediatrix of all Graces and Sanctifyer to our souls. She mobilize us if we ask for it. She enables us to strengthen our spiritual growth and to resist evil and temptation. She is the Immaculate Conception which means she alone is the most pleasing human in the eyes of God. We must also look above Her more than any other else in the world. She is the Mother of God, and our Mother also, we must give her due respect and always ask her intercession and graces.

Today, we the Legion of Mary, Maria Regina Apostulorum had the September function and a celebration to her birthday. We had gathered ourselves together to pray and to enjoy ourselves together with our Blessed Virgin Mother.

Ave Maria!

Today, August 28 is the feast of our Patron Saint in the Archdioces of Cagayan de Oro. Today also has a significant event for us because on this day we are remembering the first year of the erection of our Praesidium. Maria Regina Apostolurom Preasedium. Last August 28, 2007 the Curia President Dra. Viray through the approval of Fr Ghela, National Spiritual Director of Legion of Mary, and Fr Purdy, the Spiritual Father and regular Mass Offerer in Cagayan de Oro City, visits Cagayan de Oro for the establishment of the Maria Regina Apostolurom Praesedium. On that day, There were several persons who attended the meeting led by the appointed (by the Curia President) Praesidium President Bro John Solangon and the few members. Guided by our Blessed Mother, the meeting was succesful and thanks to the Curia President, Dra. Viray who managed to teach them the basic things to be learned as Legion of Mary active members. Fr Ghela, although he was not present during the first Praesidium meeting for he have something more important things to attend, he still was able to give them Spiritual advises before he left. Mass was held on that day with Fr Ghela.
