Blessed  Mother

Our Advocate and Guide in Heaven.  Misunderstood by many this website hopefully will be helpful to all that visit to better understand her love.

Since the beginning there has been a Mother spirit that God has imprinted on the human race.  Before there was Mary, Joseph and Jesus there were stories of virgin birth that seem to come from many cultures and traditions and belief systems.

The idea of a Virgin Birth can mean that the maiden had no other sexual experience with a man so the pregnancy was divine.  It can also mean that the maiden was pure, without sin, a virgin not only in body, but in mind and spirit.

In the belief that the maiden Mary was a virgin, a young girl a virgin in all ways, she would be the perfect vessel to engage with the spirit of God.  When people are pure in mind, body and spirit, their nervous systems and energy centers are open and can merge in the energy of God and recieve many gifts.  Prophecy, wisdom, health, insight, enlightenment and much more.

The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

"Magnify, O my soul, glorious nativity of the Mother of God"
(Matins)

Blessed Virgin Mary and St. John The Baptist's birthday to heaven and coming to earth are commemorated.

The Holy Gospel records but a few incidents from the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  It says nothing of her parentage, her nativity or her childhood.  All such information comes to us  from the early tradition of the Church, which was recorded in the middle of the second century about 175 A.D. in the apocryphal book, called the Protoevangelium of St. James.

The so called Protoevagelium of St. James was held in high esteem by inspired hymnographers as St. Sophronius of Jerusalem, St. Germanus of Constantinople, St. Andrew of Crete, St. John Damascene and others, who used the Protoevangelium as the primary source for their liturgical compositions.

From the Protoevagelium of St. James we learn that the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mother, Joachim and Anna, were righteous and greatly devoted to God.  Her father was a descendant from th royal house of David, while Mary's mother came from the priestly line of Aaron.
