When someone asked Mother Teresa why she dedicated The Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity to Mother Mary, she said, “No Mary, no Jesus.”

Today is not just about Jesus but also about Mary. Without Mary, there would be no Christmas Story.

Luke 1:26-35

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin who pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary.

The angel went to her and said, "Greeting, you are highly favored! The Lord is with you."

Mary was troubled by his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus."

I pray to our Blessed Mother Mary to bless us today and always.

Namaste.
