Immaculate Conception 2018
The Proclamation of the dogma of today’s feast of the Immaculate Conception was done by Pope Pius IX in 1854. This prerogative is an absolutely supernatural gift to the Blessed Virgin Mary in light of the Passion and Death of her Divine Son and which created Her as a worthy vessel for the carrying of Christ as His Mother later in Her life. Her initial plenitude of grace was accompanied by the virtues and the gifts in the highest degree possible to equip her for God’s mission. God’s love produced this in her and the Blessed Mother reciprocated this love throughout her life.
