HOMILY: SOLEMNITY OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION [DEC. 8]

By: Fr. Justus

December 8
(a) Mary was conceived immaculate and 1858, Mary appeared in “person” to Bernadette of Lourdes and said: “I am the Immaculate Conception”. We now talk about the “Immaculate Conception” as a human person.

(b) The heart is the seat of conception of thoughts as Jesus said: “For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander” (Matt.15:19).

(c) As a human person, what do we at times conceive and nurture in our hearts for other; lust, hatred, anger, malice and slander? Such should not be conceived and not delivered among us. Instead; “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things (Phil, 4:8), conceive them and wish them your fellow.
Happy Feast of Immaculate Conception of Mary.
