Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
A beautiful reminder for all of us:
“The month of December is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Chosen before time to be the Mother of God Incarnate, Jesus Christ, God created Mary perfect, full of grace, preserving her from the stain of Original Sin. Mary Immaculate is the most beautiful fruit of the work of the redemption accomplished by her Son, thereby making her the perfect model of holiness for all Christians.” (Bishop Robert Barron)
An Advent Prayer for children:
My little Lord Jesus, I love You and thank You for this Advent season. Please help me to understand all that You have done for me. Your loving mother held You in her heart and brought
You into this world. Help me to do the same.
My loving Jesus, I choose You, this Advent, as my King and my God. Draw me close to You and help me to see my sins so that I can change the things that You want me to change.
Mother Mary, pray for me this Advent so that I may do all that God wants me to do. You said “Yes” to all that God asked of you. Please pray for me that I may do the same.
Come, Lord Jesus,
Come, Lord Jesus,
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
I love You, Jesus.
Amen.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you and God bless,
Ann M Feltner
