The family is the building blocks of faith and society! Protect it.

Better for Easter, but a funny is always appropriate.

How about saying a rosary today!

A blessed Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary! What is it that we celebrate in this great feast? As children of God we celebrate:

1) the Blessed Virgin Mary’s wondrous conception without original sin;
2) by her simultaneously receiving a wondrous ‘twofold gift’ of life from God, her Creator and Redeemer;
3) the gift of natural human life;
4) along with the immeasurably greater gift of supernatural divine life, the very life of the Blessed Trinity;
5) which is that “fulness of grace” (Luke 1:28) that made her “all holy” (“Panagia”);
6) so as to prepare her to be the great Mother of God (Theotokos - Luke 1:43);
7) and our Mother too, in the divine order of grace (John 19:26; Rev 12:17)!

How truly fitting it is to celebrate this feast — especially in the liturgical season of Advent — as it prepares us to receive and to celebrate the birth of her Son, just as she did. Glory to God in the highest!
