Fiesta de Natividad de la Santísima Virgen María

Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

It should not be surprising that before he selected the twelve apostles, Jesus sought his Father’s will in an all-night vigil on a mountaintop.  There is clarity in nature; an orderliness and a common goal.  Feeling small under a blanket of stars is nature’s way of reminding us that God is control, we are not.
