Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Our Blessed Mother Mary’s birth is celebrated every September 8th. It is called the “Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary” by many Christians. Her birth has been celebrated since the sixth century.

Jesus’s Birth is thought by many to be the “dawn of our salvation”. And so it is. But Jesus was and is God and Man, Mary’s love made a huge difference in His life. Just as Her love is making a huge difference in our lives.

Mary has given us so many gifts. Her great love for us. Her Rosary…

One Gift we don’t talk about much is Mary’s Signal Graces. These are thought of by many as Mary’s way of letting us know that we are on the “right path” in following our Lord and doing His Will.

A writer wrote, ” What I commonly call ‘signal graces” others might call “God-incidents’, a more spiritual way of looking at what some might brush off as mere coincidence.”

That’s a great definition of a Signal Grace. Another was written by the Rosary Chapel, “Signal graces are divine guidance, trail markers in your spiritual journey, indicating you’re on the right path or should follow a particular course of action.”

Another explanation of a Signal Grace is from St. Ignatius of Loyola Church : “An answered prayer that often can be dismissed as a coincidence”.  They happen all the time, as God’s way of telling us we are on the right path as He continues to guide us and point us in the direction in which He wants us to go.”

They all give us great definitions of Signal Graces.

When we pray the Rosary regularly, we receive Signal Graces. And considering the confusion of our times; we can all use some clarification and encouragement.

And if we want to receive Signal Graces, we have only to pray the Rosary and ask Mary, Our Blessed Mother, for them 🙂

Thank you Blessed Mother Mary, for ALL of your Gifts and for Loving us so much!

Follow Jesus & Keep Praying; Prayer Changes Things!
