Welcome! This blog contains brief reflections of mine on the Scripture readings for each weekend Mass and other Holy Days, too. These readings follow those used by the Roman Catholic Church in the Revised Common Lectionary, which goes in a three-year cycle. These posts typically appear within a day or two of the specified Mass.

December 8, 2025: Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Mary
God's grace is powerful, and it overcomes the effects of sin. Thus, the Blessed Mother Mary was preserved from the stain of sin so that she might be a worthy and pure vessel to bear Christ into the world.
Like St. Paul writes in the 2nd reading from Ephesians, God is doing a marvelous work in us whom He has chosen. His Grace is powerfully at work in us so that we may live to glorify Him, magnifying Him like Mary has done.
