We celebrate another yet great Solemnity today Friday, December 8th, 2023 the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary we revels the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Virgin who is full of grace and a great person. The Blessed Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin, Her body, mind, and Immaculate. In 1854 Pope Pius IX proclaimed to be a dogma. "I give distinction and thanks to the Lord God, our Father for having chosen the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Mother of the Lord Christ Jesus, and our Mother, and having kept Her from sin as Her womb was to bear the Beloved Son of God - and we have Jesus Christ born of the Virgin Mary.
Blessed Virgin Mary has been favoured by God and had the fullness of the grace of God, the grace that God has not given to anyone except Her. "I revel heartily in the Lord, in my God is the happiness of my soul; For He has given me salvation, and wrapped me in a mantle of rectitude. Hail, Mary, who is full of grace Blessed are you, give us the grace to love God and to trust in Him. I want my soul to glorify the Lord."
We honour the Blessed Virgin Mary as a Mother of the Saviour, who was kept free from the stain of original sin may we always have a true devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is Mother of the Church, and our Spiritual Mother may we be united with Mary, imitate Her as we see our Christian life that has to bear God’s love and service, may we be filled with the Holy Spirit, and trust God like Blessed Virgin Mary who trusted God with Her whole life may we have affections for Blessed Virgin Mary, as we venerate Her. "The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Immaculate Glorified Soul." Lord God, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, give us hope to believe and trust You. The grace to be Holy like the Blessed Virgin Mary.
We make Personal Devotion to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Let us pray and praise the Lord God in the words of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
“My soul now glorifies, the Lord who is my saviour, rejoice for who am I, that God has shown me a favour, the world shall call me blessed, and ponder on my story, in me, God manifest His greatness and His glory. For those who are His friends and keep His laws most holy, His mercy never ends, and He exalts the lowly. But by His power, the great, the proud, the self-conceited, the kings who sit in state, are humbled and defeated. He feeds the starving poor, and He guides His holy nation, fulfilling what He swore, long since in revelation. Glorify with me, the Lord who is my Saviour, one Holy Trinity, forever and forever."
