December 9, 2019: Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary

When humanity turned from God, He set out to save us.

From before the foundation of the world, He chose Mary to be the pure vessel by which He would bring His Son into the world.  And so He has chosen those being saved from before the foundation of the world, cleansing us so that we might live for His praise.

Her act of obedience, her "Yes" to God, made possible the salvation of the world by reversing the curse of sin.  In our obedience to God, we participate in the victory God has won for us in Christ, born of Mary.
