Today is the feast of the Immaculate conception. I wish you all many returns while you are all enjoying a prosperous life with the blessings of Jesus the born Heavenly King.
The Feast of the Immaculate Conception celebrates Mary’s being conceived without sin. It is a uniquely Catholic feast.
Prayer of Pope John Paul II
December 8, 2003
Queen of peace, pray for us!
Our gaze is directed toward you in great fear, to you do we turn with ever-more insistent faith in these times marked by many uncertainties and fears for the present and future of our planet.
Together we lift our confident and sorrowful petition to you, the first fruit of humanity redeemed by Christ, finally freed from the slavery of evil and sin: hear the cry of the pain of victims of war and so many forms of violence that bloody the earth. Clear away the darkness of sorrow and worry, of hate and vengeance. Open up our minds and hearts to faith and forgiveness!
Mother of mercy and hope:
Help every human being of every race and culture to find and embrace Jesus, who
came to earth in the mystery of Christmas to give us ‘His’ peace.
Mary, Queen of peace, give us Christ, true peace in the world!
Amen.
