The Immaculate Conception

1. One day long ago there was conceived a holy child, who was blest within her mother’s womb so meek and mild. Her mother was advanced in years and happy to conceive, this blessed child from God above in whom she had believed. Anne named her daughter Mary since for her entire life, she would be offered up to God in loving SACRIFICE.

2. Mary grew in meekness and HUMILITY each year, while God filled her with every grace and calmed her every fear. She was blest among all women chosen for His Son, to nourish guide and care for Him until His life was done. 

3. She would raise Him from a child with Joseph at her side. Jesus then would honor them while in their home  abide. Working next to Joseph doing carpentry by day, Jesus must have saved much time to talk with them and pray. We can just imagine how much LOVE that filled their home, as He embraced their cares and dreams and made them all His own.

4. Mary was conceived IMMACULATE so she could bear, the Son of God within her womb as she adored Him there. It is only fitting that our Savior would prefer, the very humblest maiden 

upon entering this world.

5. Do not find it strange that God would purify her womb, any more than we desire to beautify our home. We should make our dwelling place as lovely as can be, fashioning it from our greatest hopes and fondest dream. Chosen to bear Jesus and to be our Heavenly QUEEN, God created Mary’s soul immaculately clean!
