Today Is The feast of the Immaculate Conception


When we recite the first joyful mystery we reflect on the immaculate conception. Mary did not understand on what the angel had told her but with humility said yes to do God's will, she cooperated with the plan of salvation. Mary our mother is the new Eve. where eve lacked obedience Mary had full obedience. With eve's disobedience entered death and with the pain[ see for the seven sorrows of Mary ] of our immaculate conception we obtained life. next to the tree of life eve lost the battle, and Mary next to the cross of her son Jesus the battle was won for eternity, it is here next to the cross where our lady became our mother, the mother of all nations! Mary was the first disciple, the new ark of the covenant, the first Tabernacle, where our lord dwelt. Just as king David danced before the Ark of the Lord so did John the Baptist danced in his mother womb's before this new Ark of the Lord. And we too must dance with Joy as we are justified with the blood of the lamb, all we have to do is obey God's Word and repent, C F, Isaiah, 1:18 " Come now, let us talk this over, says the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."


" In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."
"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.""I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her". Luke 1;26-38


let us pray: Dear mother Mary today is your feast, help us and obtain for us the grace of obedience, humility and purity in our soul, help us always to spread the good news ,the good news of salvation to the ends of the earth, we prayed this in the name of the most high Jesus Amen.
