The Immaculate Conception

The choice of the Blessed Virgin Mary to be the Mother of the Lord is so amazing. It leads us to a lot of questions as to why this lady has been blessed. But only God’s wisdom can offer us true answers. Only His graciousness can satisfy us.

Pope Pius XII declared the Immaculate Virgin Mary to be the Principal Patroness of the Philippines. We are a country deeply in love with Mama Mary. She who has been chosen shares with us the graces and blessings she received.

Our leaders, in church and in society, must realize that their being chosen brought them to their position to serve. The same choice makes them worthy of their office. Without being chosen, they could not have claimed they can serve the populace.

We pray that this year’s celebration of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary may teach all of us to be obedient to God’s voice and that we may listen not to the voice of money, power and popularity.

May the Immaculate Virgin help us cleanse our hearts from sin.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
