The Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary

“But of Zion it will be said, 'Every one was born there,' her guarantee is the Most High.” Psalms 87:5

Zion, the citadel of God, is a symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Just as Zion was an indestructible fortress for King David, so is our Blessed Mother for the people of God. She is a spiritual fortress which the Enemy has never been able to conquer. God had a special love for Zion, and in the same way, He has a special love for the Blessed Virgin. God notes all those who are born in Her, and who prove themselves Her true children in word and deed.
