Today the Church celebrate the feast of Immaculate Conception of Blessed Virgin Mary. It's an important feast, whereby we contemplate the singular superb grace given by God to Mary to be preserved from original sin from the point of her own conception.
How can this be? By the power of God, Mary has been preserved from sin from the "reverse justification," by which Mary has earlier shared the salvation earned by Jesus being crucified on the cross. She should be without sin to become worthy as Mother of Jesus, who is God.
We should together with Mary praise God today. Truly, Gabriel even called Mary "full of grace", which means God preserves her from the stain of sin in all her earthly life, right from the beginning of her conception. It's through this state of "full of grace," sinless and pure, that enable Mary become Mother of Jesus, which also Mother of God.
Use some logic, Jesus who loves his mother so much, could he allow sin to stain her?
O Mary, grant that through your intercession, I may have pure heart and soul all of my life. Never let sin conquer me again. Star of the sea, guide me closer to your son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
God bless you all!
