Feast Day of the Nativity of the Blessed Mother

"We beseech Thee, O Lord, grant to Thy servants the gift of Thy heavenly grace; as the child-bearing of the blessed Virgin was the beginning of salvation, so may the joyful festival of her nativity bring us an increase of peace."

Roman Missal, Collect for the Feast (September 8th, Gregorian, 7th century)
