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.
On this 238th Fourth of July
As we watch our precious flag go by
To commemorate that awesome decree
That from this day forward we would be free
My heart fills with pride and gratitude
For the many heroes with the fortitude
To leave their homes and families behind
Giving their lives to save mankind
Many wars have been fought since that fateful day
Many lives lost keeping the enemy at bay
But through them all our hearts filled with pride
And love for our country with God on our side
But all is not well in our country today
We’ve allowed a small group to push God away
This nation was founded invoking his name
Now we only have ourselves to blame
There is much unrest and dissension within
Prayer in public places and schools... now a sin
Our house is divided, our honor besmirched
Honor to God is confined to a church
This nation once conceived in pride
Is consumed with bitter politics inside
Pledging allegiance... not required in schools
We’ve allowed this to happen…we are such fools
We must be UNITED for our country to grow
To be the great nation we all used to know
Too many hero’s have laid down their lives
It’s our duty to see that this country thrives
Our enemy’s vow to conquer the west
But we’ll win with God’s help, for his way is best
On this great holiday…the Fourth of July
Say a silent prayer as our Flag goes by!
One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All!
