Pope Pius IX proclaimed the Immaculate Conception a dogma of the Church on December 8, 1854: • “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.” • He sited Genesis 3:15 where God told the serpent, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed.” The Church understands this to mean that this woman would never be under the power of sin. Mary would forever be in that exalted state of grace which the serpent had destroyed in man. Her continual union with grace explains her enmity with the serpent. Therefore, the Church believes that Mary was not only conceived without sin but was also free of sin throughout her life. • In Luke 1:28, theologians believed that the angel Gabriel’s greeting, which translates “Hail, full of grace”, meant that Mary was fully favored and filled with an abundance of grace. • God’s grace kept her free from sin throughout her life. God chose her from the beginning to be the Mother of Jesus and thus, made her worthy and without sin. • In 1858, in Lourdes, France, the blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous eighteen times. During one of the apparitions, Our Lady told Bernadette to tell the priests to have a chapel built and processions held there. The priest told Bernadette to ask the lady her name. Mary responded, “I am the Immaculate Conception.” • #CatholicNovena • #ImmaculateConception • #ImmaculateConceptionNovena
