September is a beautiful time to honor our heavenly Mama, Mary, whose birthday we celebrate on September 8th. To help you make the most of this special month, we’ve come up with five meaningful ways to celebrate Mama Mary all month long!
Rosary Marathon:
Gather friends and family for a month-long Rosary marathon prayed for a specific intention. Each person picks a day to pray the rosary, and then rotate for the rest of the month to keep the chain going. At the end of the month, gift your special intention with a spiritual bouquet of all the rosaries that were prayed for them over the past month.
Handwritten Prayers:
Write heartfelt prayers to mama Mary on our Auspice Maria stationery. Ask her to intercede for your loved ones and then mail them the cards afterwards so they can be consoled by your thoughtfulness & prayers.
Pilgrimage to a Marian Shrine:
Plan a visit to a nearby Marian shrine. Spend some time in prayer, and share your heart with mama who loves you so.
Invitations to Know Mary:
Have a friend who struggles with their relationship with mama Mary? Invite them into deeper relationship with mama by sharing about your own relationship with her! Consider gifting them a Miraculous Medal stationery set personalized with their name on each card so they can be encouraged to ponder her love for them and write their own private letters to her.
Flowers for Mary:
Place a vase full of fresh flowers at the foot of a Marian statue after Mass, and ask Our Lady of Sorrows (to whom this month is dedicated) to lead you closer to her son and our Lord, Jesus.
Celebrate Mary's birthday month by drawing closer to her and allowing her to lead you deeper into relationship with her Son. These small acts of love and devotion are sure to bring grace and joy to your heart!
