[EAN: 9781331622413], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Sermons This day we celebrate the birth of Mary, the ever Blessed Mother of our Redeemer. In honouring the other saints, with the single exception of St. John the Baptist, the Church celebrates the day of their departure from out this life. For, however faithful they may be in God s service, they are, while in this life, imperfect, and the shadow of sin hovers over them. It is only when this life closes that their danger is past. It is only then that they are confirmed in grace, and that their true life begins. But Mary s birth was the beginning of a life so blessed and so glorious, that the Church wishes us to rejoice and to give thanks for it. True, she was born to sorrow; but she was not born to sin. By a singular privilege she was preserved through life from every venial fault, and, as she was the predestined Mother of the Holy One, she was excepted from the universal curse. She came into the world pure and stainless from her Maker s hands. Created in justice and in holiness, no cloud darkened the brightness of her rising; and therefore we rejoice to-day.
