Today is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary! This is also the Archdiocese of Mobile’s patronal feast! It is also a holy day of obligation!
“The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.”
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is a time to celebrate the great joy of God’s gift to humanity in the Blessed Mother, and to recognize with greater clarity, the truth that each and every human being has been created by God to fulfill a particular mission that he and only he can fulfill.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and at the hour of our death! #archdioceseofmobile #catholic #catholicsaints #catholicchurch #catholiclife #catholicfaith
