“Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.” – Luke 1:28
The Solemnity of the #ImmaculateConception of the Blessed Virgin Mary references her conception without the stain of original sin.
The Church teaches:
“The most Blessed Virgin Mary was… preserved immune from all stain of original sin.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 491–492) “Her Immaculate Conception” is among the holy days of obligation observed in the universal Church. (CCC 2177)We honor Our Blessed Mother today as patroness of the United States and our Church in South Jersey!
Mary, conceived without sin, #prayforus!
