The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
— Luke 1:28
God preserved Mary from original sin from the first moment of her existence, so that she would be a pure dwelling for his Son. At Lourdes she introduced herself to Bernadette with the words: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” In the middle of Advent Mary shows us how beautiful a person is according to God's plan.
