On Tuesday September 8 we celebrate the nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

"If we tried to imagine a creature given to us
as the Mother of Our Saviour,
I do not expect that we could have imagined one
as good and kind, sweet and loving, and perfect
in every manner, as the Most Holy Mother, Mary. 

On her birthday, we particularly remember Mary
in her babyhood under the title of Maria Bambina "

We celebrate World Day of Prayer for Creation on Tuesday September 1st.  It is more poignant this year with the landslides in Nepal and Tibet causing severe destruction.  It is claimed that climate change had a big part to play in this disaster.
