The Catholic Church celebrates the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8, exactly nine months after the Solemnity of her Immaculate Conception. We know from recorded tradition of early Christians that Mary is the most blessed child of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne.
While details of Mary’s birth were not stated in the Bible, the earliest oral traditions and teachings from our Church Fathers and the writings of the Saints throughout the centuries have significantly enriched our Catholic beliefs regarding the birth of the Mother of God.
In this article, I’m going to focus on the visions of a favored soul, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich. She was a nun who was so sickly that she spent much of her life on bed. But God had bestowed upon her overwhelming graces in the form of heavenly visions that comprised almost the whole salvation history of mankind- from the time before the Creation, to the lives of Joseph, Mary and Jesus, up to the eternal City of Zion after the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Personally, I find that reading the works of the Saints, such as the Revelations given to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, has tremendously increased my appreciation of our Catholic faith, and my love for God. If I will be a mother, God willing, I wish to make our children’s storytelling time centered on the life of the Holy Family, the stories of prominent Biblical figures in the Old Testament, the parables in the New Testament, and the lives of the Saints, rather than on legends and fairytales, which are just fiction. How I wish that growing up I was able to read and learn so much more about their life stories of holiness and sanctity; if only books like those were available and more accessible back then.
I’ve written some personal reflections on the Nativity of Our Lady in the latter part. But I recommend that you read through the story of her birth below. Mind you, the visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, narrated in writing, were very long, starting with a detailed account of Mary’s ancestors and her most devout parents. I’ve selected those portions that highlight the magnificent unfolding of God’s divine plan of salvation for mankind through His handmaid, Mary. Credits to eCatholic 2000 for the quoted passages:
Rooted in Holiness: Ancestors of Saint Anne, the Essenes
The story of the birth of the Blessed Virgin, in the visions of Blessed Anne Emmerich, long began with the ancestors of her mother, Saint Anne. Those ancestors, called the “Essenes,” were very devout Israelites. “The way of life of these devout people is an inheritance from the time of Moses and Aaron and in particular from the priests who carried the Ark of the Covenant; but it was not until the period between Isaiah and Jeremiah that their way of life was regularly established.”
During the time of Saint Anne’s grandparents, the Essenes had a spiritual head, an aged prophet called “Archos or Arkas.” Their organization was very similar to a religious order in which all who wished to enter it would undergo a year’s tests, and the acceptance was decided by prophetic inspirations from God.
“The real members of the Order, who lived in a community, did not marry but lived in chastity; but there were others who married and carried out in their families…”
“The real Essenes were specially concerned with prophetic matters, and their head vouchsafed divine revelations in the cave of Elijah respecting the coming of the Messiah. He had knowledge of the family from which the mother of the Messiah was to come, and at the time of that he gave prophetic advice to the grandparents of Saint Anne in matters of marriage, he saw that the day of the Lord was approaching. He did not however, know how long the birth of the Savior’s mother might still be prevented or delayed by sin, and so he was always preaching penance, mortification, prayer, and inner sacrifice for this intention—pious exercises of which all Essenes had ever given the example.”
We have read here that the ancestral group from which Saint Anne came forth devoutly prayed and practiced acts of sacrifices from one generation to another. This had laid out a foundation of great spiritual depth for the arrival of Mary, Mother of the Messiah.
A Holy Marriage: Saint Anne and Saint Joachim
“Wooing was in those days a very simple affair. The suitors were quite awkward and bashful, and when the young people spoke to each other, they accepted the idea of marriage as something that had to be. If the bride-to-be said yes, the parents were glad, but if she said no and had reason for it, they were just as satisfied. If everything was settled between the parents, the betrothal followed in the synagogue of the place. The priest prayed at the holy place where the scrolls of the Law lay, the parents in their usual place. Meanwhile the betrothed couple went together into a room and discussed their plans and their marriage contract; if they were in agreement, they told their parents, and their parents told the priest, who came towards them and received their declaration. On the next day the wedding took place in the open air and with many ceremonies.”
“Their parents were well-to-do; they had many flocks and herds, beautiful carpets and household things, and many manservants and maidservants. I never saw them cultivating the fields, but often saw them driving cattle out to pasture. They were very pious, devout, charitable, simple, and upright. They often divided their herds and everything else into three parts, and gave a third of the beasts to the Temple, driving them there themselves and handing them over to the Temple servants. The second part they gave to the poor or in answer to the requests of their relations, some of whom were generally there to drive the beasts away. The remainder, which was generally the worst, they kept for themselves. They lived very frugally and gave to all who asked.”
The visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich further revealed that the Blessed Virgin Mary, apparently, had an older sibling called “Mary Heli.” Saint Anne knew about the promised birth of the Mother of the Messiah through her, as her ancestors had prophesied. Thus, such was the disappointment of Saint Anne and Saint Joachim when their first-born did not show the signs of the said promised child.
“The first child born to Anna in her father’s house was a daughter, but she was not the child of promise. The signs which had been predicted were not present at her birth, which was attended by some trouble. I saw that Anna, when with child, was distressed about her servants. One of her maidservants had been led astray by a relation of Joachim. Anna, in great dismay at this infringement of the strict discipline of her house, reproached her somewhat severely for her fault, and the maidservant took her misfortune so to heart that she was delivered prematurely of a stillborn child. Anna was inconsolable over this, fearing that it was her fault, with the result that her child was also born too soon. Her daughter, however, did not die. Since this child had not the signs of the promise and was born too early, Anna looked upon this as a punishment of God, and was greatly distressed at what she believed to be her own sin. She had, however, great joy in her newborn little daughter, who was called Mary (Heli). She was a dear, good, gentle child, and I always saw her growing up rather strong and fat. Her parents were very fond of her, but they felt some uneasiness and distress because they realized that she was not the expected holy fruit of their union.”
“They therefore did penance and lived in continence for a long time. Afterwards Anna remained barren, which she looked upon as the result of her having sinned, and so redoubled all her good works. I saw her often by herself in earnest prayer; I saw, too, how they often lived apart from each other, gave alms, and sent sacrifices to the Temple.”
Here we just read that Saint Anne and Saint Joachim lived in prayer, mortification, piousness, sacrifices and charity for God, and continence and chastity in their married life. This was so for the next six years, after which they moved out of their original home with their parents, and lived alone as a couple in a much simpler life, “to bring down God’s blessing on their union by a way of life more pleasing to Him… which they so earnestly desired beyond all else.”
“For nineteen years after the birth of their first child they lived thus devoutly before God in constant yearning for the gift of fruitfulness and with an increasing distress. I saw ill-disposed neighbors coming to them and speaking ill of them, saying that they must be bad people since no children were born to them, that the little girl with Anna’s parents was not really her daughter, but had been adopted by her because of her barrenness, otherwise she would have had her at home, and so forth. Each time they heard such words, the distress of the good couple was renewed.”
“Anna’s steadfast faith was supported by an inmost certainty that the coming of the Messiah was near, and that she herself was among His human relations. She prayed for the fulfillment of the Promise with loud supplications, and both she and Joachim were always striving after more perfect purity of life. The shame of her unfruitfulness distressed her deeply. She could hardly appear in the synagogue without affront. Joachim, though short and thin, was robust, and I often saw him going to Jerusalem with the beasts for sacrifice. Anna was not tall either, and very delicately formed. Her grief so consumed her that her cheeks, though still slightly tinged with red, were quite hollow. They continued to give portions of their herds to the Temple and to the poor, while the portion they kept for themselves grew ever smaller and smaller.”
An Angel’s Announcement: Answered Prayer to Saint Joachim and Saint Anne
After years of unceasing prayers, mortifications, and sacrifices, God had finally granted the holy couple with an immeasurable grace.
“Anna, full of joy, thanked God for His mercies. She then went back into the house and gave her maidservants the necessary orders for their journey to the Temple next morning. I saw her afterwards lying down to sleep after praying… After she had slept for a short time, I saw a brightness pouring down towards her from above, which on approaching her bed was transformed into the figure of a shining youth.”
“It was the angel of the Lord, who told her that she would conceive a holy child; stretching his hand over her, he wrote great shining letters on the wall which formed the name MARY. Thereupon the angel dissolved into light and disappeared.”
“During this time Anna seemed to be wrapped in a secret, joyful dream. She rose half-waking from her couch, prayed with great intensity, and then fell asleep again without having completely recovered consciousness. After midnight she awoke joyfully, as if by an inner inspiration, and now she saw, with alarm mixed with joy, the writing on the wall. This seemed to be of shining golden-red letters, large and few in number; she gazed at them with unspeakable joy and contrite humility until day came, when they faded away. She saw the writing so clearly, and her joy thereat became so great, that when she got up she appeared quite young again.”
“In the moment when the light of the angel had enveloped Anna in grace, I saw a radiance under her heart and recognized in her the chosen Mother, the illuminated vessel of the grace that was at hand. What I saw in her I can only describe by saying that I recognized in her the cradle and tabernacle of the holy child she was to conceive and preserve; a mother blessed indeed.
“I saw that by God’s grace Anna was able to bear fruit. I cannot describe the wonderful manner in which I recognized this. I saw Anna as the cradle of all mankind’s salvation, and, at the same time, as a sacred altar-vessel, opened, yet hidden behind a curtain. I recognized this after a natural manner, and all this knowledge of mine was one and was natural and sacred at the same time. (Anna was at that time, I think, forty-three years old.)”
Infused with God’s grace: Uniting of Mary’s Body and Soul
“I had a vision of the creation of Mary’s most holy soul and of its being united to her most pure body. In the glory by which the Most Holy Trinity is usually represented in my visions I saw a movement like a great shining mountain, and yet also like a human figure; and I saw something rise out of the midst of this figure towards its mouth and go forth from it like a shining brightness. Then I saw this brightness standing separate before the Face of God, turning and shaping itself– or rather being shaped, for I saw that while this brightness took human form, yet it was by the Will of God that it received a form so unspeakably beautiful. I saw, too, that God showed the beauty of this soul to the angels, and that they had unspeakable joy in its beauty. I am unable to describe in words all that I saw and understood.”
“When seventeen weeks and five days after the conception of the Blessed Virgin had gone by (that is to say, five days before Anna’s pregnancy was half accomplished), I saw the Blessed Virgin’s holy mother lying asleep in her bed in her house near Nazareth. Then there came a shining light above her, and a ray from this light fell upon the middle of her side, and the light passed into her in the shape of a little shining human figure. In the same instant I saw the Blessed Virgin’s holy mother raise herself on her couch surrounded by light. She was in ecstasy, and had a vision of her womb opening like a tabernacle to enclose a shining little virgin from whom man’s whole salvation was to spring. I saw that this was the instant in which for the first time the child moved within her.”
“Anna then rose from her couch, dressed herself, and announced her joy to the holy Joachim. They both thanked God, and I saw them praying under the tree in the garden where the angel had comforted Anna. It was made known to me that the Blessed Virgin’s soul was united to her body five days earlier than with other children, and that her birth was twelve days earlier.”
The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
“I saw the three cousins arriving at Anna’s house in the evening. They went to her in her room behind the hearth and embraced her. After Anna had told them that the time was near for her to be delivered, they stood up and sang a hymn together: Praise the Lord God; He has shown mercy to His people, and has redeemed Israel, and has fulfilled the promise which He gave to Adam in Paradise that the seed of the woman should crush the head of the serpent,’ and so on. I can no longer recite it all by heart. Anna prayed as though in ecstasy. She introduced into the hymn all the prophetic symbols of Mary. She said: The seed given by God to Abraham has ripened in me.’ She spoke of the promise to Sarah of Isaac’s birth and said: The blossoming of Aaron’s rod is perfected in me.’ At that moment I saw her as though suffused with light; I saw the room full of radiance, and Jacob’s ladder appearing above it. The women were overcome with astonishment and joy, and I think that they also saw the vision.”
“Anna knelt before the little cupboard with one of the women on each side and the third behind her. She recited another hymn; I think it mentioned the burning bush of Moses. Then I saw the room filled with supernatural light which became more intense as it wove itself round Anna. The women sank to the ground as though stunned. The light round Anna took the exact form of the burning bush of Moses on Horeb, and I could no longer see her. The whole flame streamed inwards; and then I suddenly saw that Anna received the shining child Mary in her hands, wrapped her in her mantle, pressed her to her heart, and laid her naked on the stool in front of the holy relics, still continuing her prayer.”
“The women stood up and received the newborn child in their arms with great astonishment. They shed tears of joy. They all joined in a hymn of praise, and Anna lifted her child up on high as though making an offering. I saw at that moment the room full of light, and beheld several angels singing Gloria and Alleluia. I heard all their words. They announced that on the twentieth day the child was to be called Mary.”
Mary’s Birth: A Joy in Heaven
“In the moment when the newborn child lay in the arms of her holy mother Anna, I saw that at the same time the child was presented in heaven in the sight of the Most Holy Trinity, and greeted with unspeakable joy by all the heavenly host. Then I understood, that there was made known to her in a supernatural manner her whole future with all her joys and sorrows. Mary was taught infinite mysteries, and yet was and remained a child. This knowledge of hers we cannot understand, because our knowledge grows on the tree of good and evil. She knew everything in the same way as a child knows its mother’s breast and that it is to drink from it. As the vision faded in which I saw the child Mary being thus taught in heaven through grace, I heard her weep for the first time.”
My Reflections:
As revealed to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, there was more to the story of Saints Anne and Joachim, and how the birth of Mary came about. They were not simply a barren, old couple who wanted to have a child and waited for God to do a miracle. Even before the Messiah was born, God has already taught us the value of prayer and sacrifice and the virtue of humility in the fulfillment of His Divine Will, through the holy examples of His grandparents Anne and Joachim, and its perfection in Our Lady herself.
1. Perseverance in prayer
Saint Anne and Saint Joachim, from the birth of their first child (who was not the promised child), persevered through 19 years of intense prayer life and devotion, which they coupled with charity and doubled sacrifices, for God to bless them with the promised child. That’s the example they gave us- they undertook that much prayer and endured that much persistence.
The Promise of God for the coming of Mary had been foretold for ages among Saint Anne’s ancestors. In great anticipation for the arrival of this Promise, the Essenes spent all their days living a most prayerful, pious, and chaste life. When the time of Saint Anne came and the prophecy had yet to be fulfilled, she once felt dismayed and almost blamed herself for the delay in the coming of the Promise, when she sinned against her neighbor, their house servant. She even thought her being barren was a punishment from God, which needed great prayers and acts of mortification.
I reflect on what happened as described above. Clearly, it underscores how we must all persevere in prayer to God. The coming of Mary was already a “Promise” from God to the Essenes. But still, Saints Ann and Joachim and all their ancestry prayed with much fervor. Why pray for something when it had already been promised? The true answer will always be a mystery for we can never fully comprehend God’s ways for His people. But what we know for sure is that Jesus Himself constantly prayed to His Father, the Almighty God, even though He already knew of His Passion, Death, and His triumph in Resurrection. He clearly wanted us to do the same, to imitate Him in prayer.
Praying has been an integral part of mankind’s relationship with God. Our anointed forefathers, Abraham and his children, the prophets, the kings- all those pious generations that came before, prayed fervently to God for everything. Jesus, in His time on earth, repeatedly taught us the value of prayer in His parables, and gave us the Our Father, Our Lord’s Prayer. God knows the past, present, and future all at the same time. But even so, He wants us to earnestly and humbly ask for His graces, to pray each day to Him, to acknowledge that whatever we had, we have, and will have, only come from God’s goodness, mercy and compassion for us.
That’s exactly what Saint Anne and Saint Joachim did; they prayed and sacrificed, not only before the coming of Our Lady, but also during their joyful expectation of her birth, and throughout their lives after she’s born. In today’s world, we at times tend to slack off in praying when we feel like our prayers are already ‘answered.’ For example, we have prayed for good health. Now we see that we’re in good shape; that we’re alive right now. But it doesn’t mean that we’d still be alive tomorrow. God can take our life anytime. This shows us that even with answered prayers, or ‘promised’ graces, we still have to continue praying to God everyday and do our part in taking care these granted petitions.
Our Lord wants us to persevere in prayer so that spiritual and temporal graces may come into our lives. Saint Teresa of Avila echoed it in her words of wisdom, “We must have a determined determination to never give up prayer.” At the same time, God inspires us to continuously pray that we may be purified from our ‘faults’ or whatever attitudes or demeanors that we need to improve on. When Saint Anne believed that she was at fault in how she treated another person, she resolved to change her attitude and did penance for it with remorse and contrition. It was through prayers that the holy couple frequently examined their conscience.
Persevering in prayer is an ongoing work for the Catholic faithful. Through the Cross of Jesus, God has given mankind the ‘Promise of Heaven’. We have the Sacraments to sanctify and make us worthy of the Holy Spirit to dwell within us. Also, we can use or wear sacramentals. But this Promise of God’s Mercy doesn’t guarantee that we are sure of Heaven. We have work to do in this life, and until we get to Heaven, we must continue to pray, do good and strive.
Your prayers should not stop with words, just like how Saints Anne and Joachim did more than merely praying. It’s easy to pray a lot in silence in your room or at work, or even out loud in the church. But you must live in godly ways as you pray. One cannot compensate for the other, but both must exist together in your life.
As you pray and pray, do you offer sacrifices, through abstinence, fasting, or any form of penance? Do you also perform good works or charitable deeds? And do you treat your family, loved ones, and neighbors with kindness, respect and humility? Remember that how you live your life is your very own prayer, an unspoken prayer to God. Make it worthy of a true Catholic.
2. Humility at heart
In the visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, Saint Anne and Saint Joachim were seen as privileged people. They were well off and had riches of land and cattle. But the couple and their ancestors still lived simple lives. They were seen to be more absorbed in pursuing holiness. Even the material things and livestock they had, most of them were divided for the temple as offerings and for charity. At the core of their lives and in the midst of abundance, they remained humble.
Saint Anne also had shown much humility when she feared that the delay in the coming of their promised child was her ‘fault,’ given how she carried herself in one instance. In life, one must have humility to show true contrition. You must be willing to admit your mistakes and to recognize your faults for what they are, and not give plain reasons or excuses for whatever you said or however you behaved; to be humble enough to apologize to those you’ve hurt and to readily amend your ways.
I’d like to point out also that Saint Anne and Saint Joachim did not lash out at God when it took a very long time before God had granted them their promised child. When God’s plan for them did not materialize soon enough, they did not panic nor turn against Him. They could have complained in dismay, “God, where is the child we’ve been longing for? The both of us, and all our ancestors, have been very generous and religious people. We deserve to be given the grace You promised us!” Instead, in an act of greater humility, they looked deeper within themselves and purified their lives even more. And when Mary was finally born, Saint Anne and Saint Joachim did not go running around with pride or conceit. In their hearts, they only had gratitude, praise and reverence for God who made everything possible.
Saint Teresa of Avila, the great Carmelite nun and mystic, always stressed the importance of having humility within us for God to answer our prayers. The following lines, for instance, seemed fitting of the circumstances of Saint Anne and Saint Joachim:
“All one need to do is go into solitude and look at Him within oneself, and not turn away from so good a Guest but with great humility speak to Him as a father. Beseech Him as you would a father; tell him all about your trials; ask Him for a remedy against them, realizing that you are not worthy to be His daughter.” (Way of Perfection 28, 2)
“We should make our petitions like beggars before a powerful and rich Emperor; then, with downcast eyes, humbly wait. When He secretly shows us He hears our prayers, it is well to be silent, as He has drawn us into His presence… If, however, the King makes no sign of listening or of seeing us, there is no need to stand inert, like a dolt, which the soul would resemble if it continued inactive… Our Lord wishes us at such a time to offer Him our petitions and to place ourselves in His presence; He knows what is best for us.” (Interior Castle, Fourth Mansion, Chapter 3).
“Humility is the ointment for our wounds because if we indeed have humility, there may be a time of delay, the surgeon, who is our Lord, will come to heal us.”
3. Life’s meaning and purpose
Christians must never dismiss the importance of Our Blessed Mother. She deserves our utmost respect and honor at all times. While the Israelites awaited the Coming of the Messiah, they likewise had prayed with faith, hope and love for the Coming of the Blessed Virgin who would be the Mother of God. As Catholics, we believe that Mary is the only one who is worthy to be the vessel of God Incarnate. It’s blasphemous to say that without Mary, God would just pick any other woman. God has chosen her from eternity. Thus, from one generation to the next, the holiness of Mary’s lineage was being perfected, until it brought forth a seed most pure and conceived without sin. And this means that each person in Mary’s lineage was able to serve his or her purpose according to God’s will and design.
Mary’s role in the salvation of man was extraordinary, of which her parents and ancestors were a part of. That’s why the nativity of Mary was surrounded with supernatural grace and heavenly presence. An Angel even visited her parents to speak of its fulfillment. But how about for the rest of us who were ‘just born’? Our parents certainly did not have angelic visits to announce our arrival on earth. Throughout our lives, most of us remain ordinary people; not even become celebrities, leaders, or inventors that ‘change’ the world. Sadly, in a secular view, it doesn’t seem like our plain, repetitive lives have any purpose.
In the grand scheme of things by God, however, we are born because we do have a purpose; we are part of the accomplishment of His will on earth. It may not be grand or outstanding. It’s probably simple and small, but definitely a noble purpose. Only us can fulfill it by following in the steps of Our Lord Jesus, and looking up to Our Blessed Mother Mary and imitating her ways.
On the other hand, if you disobey God’s Commandment of Love and choose according to what pleases you and not what pleases Him, then you are going to prevent yourself from being God’s instrument of His goodness. The truth is, life only has meaning when we are with God. We are nothing without Him. Our lives draw meaning only from the purpose, which God gives us.
Your life’s purpose may be to have a family and serve them with all your strength. It could be to enter the contemplative life and pray night and day for lost souls. Or it could be to grow that love you found in an unexpected way and cherish it with all your heart.
I remember the beautiful jazz-big band song You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You. I’ve gotten to listen to the cover version of the song by Michael Bublé, so it reminded me of it. I think its lyrics somehow speak of this reflection.
Some lines of the song:
You are nobody until somebody loves you.
You’re nobody till somebody cares.
Now you may be king, you may possess
The world and its gold.
Gold will never buy a happiness
When you’re growing old.
You know the world is the same.
And you’ll never change it.
Just as sure as the stars shine above.
Well, you are nobody until somebody comes and loves you.
So, find yourself somebody to love.
To the world, you are a ‘nobody’ when you are without money, property, successful career, or position of influence. You’re a ‘nobody’ when you do not have the material things or status that the world desires.
But as Catholics, what makes you a ‘nobody’ is the lack of true love in your life. To not love and to not be loved would render you as ‘nobody.’ Ask yourself, if you have true love in your life.
How can someone love you if you don’t know how to love? This is not about the fancies of infatuation or the whims of romance. It is about making yourself a reflection of God’s love to the people around you, especially to those He entrusted to you- your parents, siblings, spouse or loved one, children, grandchildren. But what do they really see in you? Is it kindness and humility, or rudeness, arrogance, and pride?
The song reminds us that nothing can buy you love and happiness. It is only by loving that you experience the joy of being loved. When your ordinary daily life turns boring or dull, when living becomes difficult, as you get older each day, only true love can give you the strength and inspiration to do greater things for the glory of God. But without true love, you’ll always remain a ‘nobody’ without a purpose to fulfill in life.
Everything about the Nativity of Mary was an absolute expression of living according to God’s will. Saint Anne and Saint Joachim, and their ancestors, took part in that. Jesus said, “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you” (John 15:12). All of us are called for a purpose- to love, to persevere in prayer, to be humble… even though not many hear this call and respond. But if we try our hardest to follow God’s Commandment of love, we become worthy of His friendship (You are my friends if you do what I command you.” – John 15:14). We become “Somebody.”
Happy Birthday Our Blessed Mother Mary!
St. Anne and St. Joachim, pray for us!
St. Joseph, pray for us!
Mama Mary, pray for us!
Amen.
