Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-September 8 (The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary)

Mary was born a Saint, and a great Saint. It is certain that her soul was the most beautiful God had ever created. As Mary was chosen to be Mother of God, it was quite becoming that God should adorn her, in the first moment of her existence, with an immense grace, and one of a superior order to that of all other men and angels, since it had to correspond to the immense and most high dignity to which God exalted her.
