Dec 8th Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception
Ah for the love of our Lord. Many folks don't understand
what is meant by the "Immaculate Conception".
I too at one time thought the title referred to the
Virgin birth of Our Lord Christ. That it was as said in the bible
that the Holy Spirit came down on Mary and she conceived
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Well, for those of us still not quite up
on that term, it simply means that the Blessed Virgin Mary herself,
( when she was conceived in the womb of St Ann, her mother,)
was conceived without original sin. A specific honor given to Mary
by God so that Christ could be born of Mary who by God's grace
was conceived sinless-that is to say without original sin-
and "full of Grace".
I hope that helps some who were as confused
about this feast day as I used t be.
God bless us all and Have a
happy feast day.
May the Blessed Mother put a kind word
in to Jesus for each of us.
