The Greatest Woman Who Ever Lived??? NO!!!!! The Greatest Woman Who Ever Lived.... YES!!!!!

H.G. Wells once called Margaret Sanger "the greatest woman who ever lived."  
He could not have been more WRONG!!!

The greatest woman who ever lived is also the humblest woman

who ever lived... the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose birth we celebrate today.

Here is the Collect for today's feast.

Impart to your servants, we pray, O Lord,

the gift of heavenly grace,

that the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin

may bring deeper peace

for those for whom the birth of her Son

was the dawning of salvation.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

– Amen.
