As the young Caritas girls headed to the chicken coop to collect the community’s “daily bread” of eggs, the community members gathered to pray the Rosary before Our Lady’s statue which was graced with the beautiful picture of the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, surrounded by hundreds of roses that formed a flowery pedestal at Our Lady’s feet. This scene of Mary’s birth and the roses always bring to mind the very special celebration of Our Lady’s birthday that took place in the Field the evening of August 4, 2005, when for the first time ever a celebration of Mary’s “Christmas” Eve was experienced by thousands of pilgrims, followed then by the spectacular storm on Our Lady’s birthday, August 5th, in which nature re-created the exact circumstances when Mary first entered the world at Her birth 2,021 years earlier.

For a synopsis of that special birthday celebration of August 5, 2005, and the Caritas Community’s celebration, see the article “Our Lady’s 2023rd Birthday – August 5, 2007”

Here in this picture, the girls are returning from gathering the chicken eggs and bringing them to the Field to place them in the front of Our Lady as they do every day for the rosary. In Medjugorje Our Lady came and stepped into the lives of the villagers. At Caritas, it is seen that Our Lady comes into the everyday life and becomes a part of the Community, intertwined, Heaven and earth, a seamless life. Our Lady’s birthday, celebrated as if it were the birthday of a Community member, only it is our Queen and Mother.

At 3:00 a.m. the morning of August 5th, several of the young men in the Caritas Community, who had spent the night outside under the stars, arose to begin roasting a pig. For what occasion? For the celebration of Our Lady’s birthday. It is a big feast day in the Caritas Community, and among one of the main callings of the Community is to promote and spread knowledge of Our Lady’s August 5th birthday worldwide. On August 4th, the day before Our Lady’s feast, the community men worked all day in St. Joseph’s shop to weld together the spit you see in this picture to hold the pig. It is a joy to create from one’s own hands, in collaboration of what God gives in His creation, useful tools and other necessities of life. The handmade spit added to the festivities of the day as Our Lady’s little village allowed practically everything else to stop in order to pause to give thanks to God and to celebrate Her birth.

  1. A prophetic phrase, KINGDOM COME,  I got it when I woke last week and looking for the definition or meaning of the phrase, finally your broadcast defines everything about this phrase. Thank you !

THank you for the Miracle of Your Love for us. We love you and I love you the most…someday we shall see each other again.

  3. Thank you for posting how your community honored Our Lady on her birthday. It is so joyous to see! Our family was inspired by our July visit with you all to celebrate Our Lady’s special day here in our home. We attended daily Mass for nine days bringing flowers from our garden each morning to her statue in church and saying prayers of thanksgiving for Our Lady. On 5 August, we brought roses and hand made cards, sang and prayed to Mary in church, then made and shared a birthday pie at home.
