So why would God have given this one woman such a gift and blessing... If you could create your own mother wouldn't you want her to be perfect and sinless!?!? I would! God was able to make his son's mother and so he created her special and above all other women. This is a Holy Day of Obligation and ALL Catholics are required to go to Mass, or it is considered a mortal (serious) sin. Just to clarify: Mary's Immaculate Conception should not be confused with the conception of Jesus which is celebrated on the 25th of March (9 months before Christmas). The conception of Jesus is known as the Annunciation to Mary. This is when the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the mother of God. Also, Catholics do not believe that Mary, herself, was the product of a Virgin Birth. |
Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in tribulation, steadfast in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality. ~ Romans 12:11-13
