Most Blessed Among Women: The Immaculate Conception


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed [Mary] with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ: As he chose [her] in him before the foundation of the world, that [she] should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity. Who hath predestinated [her] unto the adoption of [daughter] through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will: Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced [her] in his beloved son. In whom [she] also [is] called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will. That [she] may be unto the praise of his glory...

Thus the second reading (ordinary form), of the Mass of the Immaculate Conception, which applies a fortiori to Mary, created by God without the stain of original sin, today.

Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception!

Below, enjoy some Gregorian chant for the feast, and sing along!
