Advent 2nd Week - Dec 9-14: Weekday Reflections
Dec 9: Monday (Immaculate Conception
of Blessed Virgin Mary) (Transferred to Dec 9th Monday and
hence not a Holy Day of obligation in the U. S. in 2019): USCCB: https://youtu.be/jGQQe-PVimw?list=PLpTzvCOJa7DAAsw34PxZGDqnI_bBKNWa9 Introduction: Mary’s
prophecy given in her Magnificat, “Behold all
generations will call me blessed,” was fulfilled when the Catholic Church
declared four dogmas of Faith about her: 1-The Immaculate Conception, 2-The
Perpetual Virginity, 3-The Divine Maternity, 4-The Assumption. The Immaculate
Conception is a dogma based mainly on Christian tradition and theological
reasoning. It was defined in 1854 by Pope Pius IX as a dogma of Faith
through Ineffabilis Deus. Definition: From the first moment of
her conception, Mary was preserved immune from original sin by the singular
grace of God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human
race. (CCC #491). This means that original sanctity, innocence and justice were
conferred upon her, and that she was exempted from all the evil effects of
original sin, excluding sorrow, pain, disease and death which are temporal
penalties given to Adam. (Catholic Encyclopedia).

Isaiah 29:17-24 / Matthew 9:27-31
Great things can be accomplished when there are two factors involved: conviction and commitment.
In other words, when we believe in something and we put our energy and even our lives on it, then great things can be accomplished.
