Dear All,
What a glorious Feast we celebrate today: Mary's Immaculate Conception! From the very first instant of Mary's existence in her mother's womb, she is Immaculate! God's Great Love preserved her free from every sin, for she was to hold His only Begotten Son within her womb. Hail, Mary, O Glorious and Immaculate Mother of God!
If anyone has consecrated themselves to Jesus through Mary, I encourage you to renew your consecration today. If you have prayed St. Louis de Montfort's Act of Consecration, see
http://totalconsecration.ageofmary.com/ If you desire to consecrate your self for the first time you can read more at that link.
If you have never consecrated yourself, and find St. Louis too difficult, there is a simpler Act of Consecration, beautiful and as powerful, written by St. Maximillian Kolbe, see
http://www.consecration.com/default.aspx?id=34 I have prayed both, and am grateful beyond measure for the gifts of grace God has given to the Church through these two saints, and most of all through Mary our Mother. Happy, Holy Feast to all!
