Today has been the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, that is, the conception of Mary by her parents without original sin. Basically, it is a celebration of Mary day.
Ironically, the reading for today is actually about Mary’s fiat, which makes it easily confusing to determine if the day is about when Mary was conceived or when she conceived Jesus. But that scene is still suiting, because the Angel Gabriel greets her as being full of grace already, which came from her conception. (Read a good and quick explanation here.)
Anyway, I love Mary and I am grateful for her, as well as for her intercessions.
Thank you, Mary. Thank you, God. Make us well and keep us safe, please. And whole and together. In Jesus’s name, I pray. Amen.
