Wednesday - IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
January 3,9-15.20 Ps 97 Eph 1,3-6.11 -12 Lk 1:26-38: You are to conceive a child and give birth. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Before declaring that the Church of the Immaculate Conception dogma of faith of the Virgin Mary is the same as lead us to think and believe: the words and the Angel, who calls it "full of grace", she does not relish, but even believes that it is impossible that what she is told to fulfilled in her: "How is that possible?" then when the divine messenger reassures the way in which her pregnancy is to be fulfilled, her "humble servant of the Lord," declares its complete readiness: "Let me in according to thy word. " That docility, humility, and that the full and unconditional willingness to accompany you throughout its existence, until his glorious transit. Nothing, absolutely nothing in the life of Mary is leaked even the slightest trace of those so obvious weaknesses, arising from original sin, but often that pollute our lives. We are still convinced that our heavenly Mother was conceived without sin, that she will have to accept in her virginal womb the Son of God, who takes yes, our human nature, but can not be the slightest trace of pollution from sin, the person of Maria will be the most pure tabernacle which houses the Incarnate Word. It is still the same Jesus dying on the cross to declare the universal motherhood of Mary, when turning to John says, "Son, behold your Mother." The link is clear and logical: the Mother without sin, only she, the Immaculate, becomes the Mother of all the redeemed. She is so the new Eve, the Lord God upon you pose well pleased, through you may still feel for all mankind the immensity of his merciful love. She is the last pre-redeemed, which shows us the goal and we are born anew as children in the primitive purity. In this world of ours, filled with all kinds of pollution, the Immaculate Conception reminds us of the purity of heart, clear the values \u200b\u200bof the spirit, the honesty of our feelings and our actions. She talks about the ecology of the soul, of which too little we do.
Newspaper "In His Image" - comment by Msgr. Francesco Ruppi Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The pre ring of Pope Benedict XVI the statue of the Immaculate in Rome (2009).
Mary is the mother who repeats men of our time: not be afraid, Jesus won the evil, has uprooted from its freeing domain. How we need this beautiful news! Every day, in fact, through
newspapers, television, radio , evil is told, repeated, amplified, get used to the most horrible things, making become insensitive and, in some way intoxicated, because it ga t iv or is not fully disposed of and daily builds. The heart hardens and thoughts darken.
Maria with her presence speaks of God, reminds us of the victory of grace over sin and leads us to hope humanely even in the most difficult. Mary Immaculate helps us to rediscover and defend the depth of people. Our Lady teaches us to open ourselves to God's action, to watch others as they see him: with mercy, with love, with infinite tenderness , especially longer alone, despised, exploited.
