Parish Feast of the Nativity of Mary 7 Sept 2008

This Homily (14 minutes) given by Fr. Thomas Weise is a celebration of the Cathedral Parish Feast Day. We explore the real suffering and joy that Mary experienced as a young engaged mother, who gives birth to a son in a stable then flees her homeland with Joseph to protect their son as political refugees, who losses her child in the capital city, and finishes raising Jesus as a single mother after Joseph's death, then after following his public ministry closely to see him sentenced to death in his thirties. The intention is to make Mary and the Holy Family more available to us ordinary people.

Readings: Micah 5:1-4a, Romans 8:28-30; Matthew 1:1-16, 18-23.
