The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
December 8, 2025
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Dear Family of Mary!
On this incredible Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we honor with all praise our Mother Most Holy, the Blessed Virgin Mary!
She has been highly exalted by God the Father! She was chosen to
become the Mother of His Son, and She accepted this call with total
abandonment to God's will. We are in awe at Her purity and total love
for God. We are in awe that we, who are Her other children, can call
Her Mother! Today we honor Our Lady's Immaculate Conception, which God
provided for Her by the prevenient grace of Jesus' Death on the Cross,
so that She could become the Mother of the New Covenant, Jesus Himself!
We are in total awe!!
Let us pray with St. Anselm:
From a sermon by St Anselm, bishop
(Oratio 52: PL 158, 955-956)
O Virgin, by whose blessing all nature is blessed!
Blessed Lady, sky
and stars, earth and rivers, day and night – everything that is subject
to the power or use of man – rejoice that through you they are in some
sense restored to their lost beauty and are endowed with inexpressible
new grace. All creatures were dead, as it were, useless for men or for
the praise of God, who made them. The world, contrary to its true
destiny, was corrupted and tainted by the acts of men who served idols.
Now all creation has been restored to life and rejoices that it is
controlled and given splendour by men who believe in God.
The universe
rejoices with new and indefinable loveliness. Not only does it feel the
unseen presence of God himself, its Creator, it sees him openly, working
and making it holy. These great blessings spring from the blessed fruit
of Mary’s womb.
Through the
fullness of the grace that was given you, dead things rejoice in their
freedom, and those in heaven are glad to be made new. Through the Son
who was the glorious fruit of your virgin womb, just souls who died
before his life-giving death rejoice as they are freed from captivity,
and the angels are glad at the restoration of their shattered domain.
Lady, full and
overflowing with grace, all creation receives new life from your
abundance. Virgin, blessed above all creatures, through your blessing
all creation is blessed, not only creation from its Creator, but the
Creator himself has been blessed by creation.
To Mary, God gave
his only-begotten Son, whom he loved as himself. Through Mary God made
himself a Son, not different but the same, by nature Son of God and Son
of Mary. The whole universe was created by God, and God was born of
Mary. God created all things, and Mary gave birth to God. The God who
made all things gave himself form through Mary, and thus he made his own
creation. He who could create all things from nothing would not remake
his ruined creation without Mary!
God, then, is the
Father of the created world and Mary the mother of the re-created
world. God is the Father by whom all things were given life, and Mary
the mother through whom all things were given new life. For God begot
the Son, through whom all things were made, and Mary gave birth to him
as the Saviour of the world. Without God’s Son, nothing could exist;
without Mary’s Son, nothing could be redeemed.
Truly, the Lord is with you, to whom the Lord granted that all nature should owe as much to you as to himself.
Amen!! We believe and we rejoice!!
This wonderful Mary gave us this message on November 25th:
The November 25, 2025, Message from Our Lady, the Queen of Peace!!
"Dear
children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to follow me. Pray
for those who do not pray and do not want peace and joy, which only the
Most High can give. May your souls be united in the joy of expectancy
and your heart will be filled with peace. You will be convinced, little
children, that all will be good and that God will bless all; because the
good that you give will return to you, and joy will enfold your heart
because you are with God and in God. Thank you for having responded to
my call." (With ecclesiastical approval)
Mother, we unite our souls with you in the joy of expectancy!! Come, Lord Jesus, and save your people!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
