Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 8 September 2015

Most lovable Mother Mary, our Father in Heaven created you with delight. You are His creature whom He made worthy to become the holy Mother of His Son. You were born into a family of Saints. Pray for me today that my joy in your Son will increase and that my family may become more holy.

Dearest Mother, please pray for me and for these my intentions…
(State your intentions)



At the Sunset Mass at the Church of the Holy Name of Mary, Permatang Tinggi, Penang, Malaysia, the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was celebrated today.

As it was also the Feast of Our Lady of Good Health of Velankanni. A beautiful statue of Our Lady of Good Health of Velankanni was also displayed.

There was small exhibition on the many depictions of the Blessed Mother was also held.

These were the three statues of Our Lady which I think are unique.

 This is an old wooden statue belonging to the parish. It is said to be more than a hundred years old and it shows Our Blessed Mother in traditional Chinese attire.

 And this statue of Our Lady with an elaborate halo. I am not sure what Our Lady statue this is.
