September 8
On this special day, the Salesian family and the entire Christian community joyfully celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary—the beloved mother of Jesus and a guiding light of love and faith for all humanity.
Saint John Bosco often reminded young people to pray to Mary and seek her protection, trusting that she would lead them to live in the love of God. Her life is a model of purity, humility, and unwavering devotion.
🙏 Today, we ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to intercede for us, to bring our prayers before God, and to protect us with her maternal care. May she grant peace, blessings, and strength to our families, our communities, and the world.
✨ May the Blessed Virgin Mary continue to guide us in living a life rooted in love and grace.
