They say the day you first drew breath was the time that you were inflicted by an ancestral sin, but what if today, you learned that there walks a soul that was never stained?
Every 8th of December, Catholics observe the feast of Immaculate Conceptionโa celebration of pure beginning, where Mary was conceived by her mother, Saint Anne, without having the original sin or the flaw we inherit from our ancestors. For this day, we gather, not to mark a birth, but to celebrate the start of everything, where the blessed mother of God had been graced with divine gift and holy purity.
In different years, Mary Spotless Conception became a debate for medieval theologians, but it wasn't until Pope Sixtus IV in 1476, that officially approved it. This became a Catholic dogma in December 8, 1854 by Pope Pius IX with his Ineffabilis Dues, declaring the Immaculate Conception as a universal Catholic feast. Since then, December 8, has been recognized as a Holy Day of Obligation, where Catholics with deep-faith are impelled to attend mass.
Above creed, the feast carries an important message, that God's grace is holier and more encompassing than our imperfections. Mary's faultless formation nudged followers, that in a world full of conflict, light and hope are still possible for those who truly believed in Him. Today, we don't just give glory to Mary but also to the holy-goodness of God's grace in our daily lives.
Happy Feast of Immaculate Conception!
