The Immaculate Conception of Mary since December 8 this year falls on a Sunday and in the liturgical calendar of the Church, the Sundays of Advent of the Church, The Sundays of Advent takes precedence over other solemnities and feasts, the observance of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Mary is transferred to December 9. The dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin was defined by Blessed Pope Pius IX in 1854. He said: “The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, The Saviour of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.” Pope Benedict XVI in his reflection on the observance of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception in 2011 said: “This truth of faith is contained in the words of greeting the Archangel Gabriel addressed to her: ‘Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!’ (Lk 1:28). The expression ‘full of grace’ indicates that marvelous work of the love of God, who through His Only Begotten Son incarnate who rose again, wanted to restore to us the life and the freedom, lost by original sin.” By God’s grace, Mary was freed from original sin as a way of preparing her to be the mother of God. She received the original grace of holy purity and the final state of the blessed life that we also, by collaborating with Divine Grace, hope one day to receive. The readings in today’s liturgy narrate how God’s plan of salvation was translated into reality through the cooperation of Mary. In the first reading, the liturgy recalls the figure of Eve, the first woman in the Bible. Church Fathers saw in Mary the new Eve that unties the knot bound by the first woman. As Eve was created in purity and integrity, also the new Eve was miraculously preserved from the contamination of original sin because she had to give humanity the Word, who was incarnated for our ransom. In the Second Reading, the apostle Paul reminds all Christians that God wants to see us holy and blameless before Him. The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is a time to rejoice for the gift of god to humanity in the person of Mary, and to recognize the truth that each and every human being has been created by God to accomplish a particular mission that only she or he can achieve. May our Lady show us the true path to holiness and purity of hearts. In a world filled with selfishness, greed, and pride, Mary’s example shines like a star in a dark night. She is truly a star that leads us to Jesus who is the true light of the world. May Mary conceived without original sin pray for us who have recourse to her.MAY GOD BLESS US ALL! 1 Like |

PROOF OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION A good sister asked for proof of the validity of the immaculate conception dogma. I briefly replied : Evidence is simply that God dwells in the holiest of places and if he ever came into the womb of Mary (which he did), he must have prepared it free from every stain of sin. Her womb, like heaven became unstained with even the slightest taint of original or actual sin. Again if Jesus were to save us from sin, he too would not be affected by original sin. If Mary were affected by original sin, then Christ too would have suffered this too and would therefore be unable to save Us since he himself would be in this sin with us. However if Christ would save he needed be outside this pit of sin to draw us away from it. And Mary's immaculate conception was a way for Christ to be free from this sin and be in good position to draw us from it. Plus, he also has revealed this truth to the Church over the years. I hope this suffices. God bless you. i'm i correct? 1 Like |

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, the solemn dogma defined by Blessed Pope Pius IX in 1854. As Our Lady Immaculately Conceived is the patroness of the United States of America, this is a holy day of obligation in the United States. Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Blessed Pope Pius IX proclaimed on December 8, 1854: "The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin." |

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy; hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
