TRANSLATION: In thy Conception, O Mary, thou wast Immaculate. Pray for us to the Eternal Father, whose only-begotten Son Jesus, conceived in thy womb by the Holy Ghost, thou didst bring forth.
DECEMBER 8 --- FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
On December 8, 1854, the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was officially declared by Pope Pius IX. The dogma is defined in the papal bull, Ineffabilis Deus: "The Most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of the Almighty God, and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the human race, preserved immune from the stain of original sin." Four years later, or in 1858, as if in a seal of approval, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to an innocent 13 y/o Bernadette Soubirous as the "Immaculate Conception."
A blessed Feast of the Immaculate Conception to all. God bless.
