December 6 – Second Sunday in Advent
Quoting the prophet Isaiah, Luke instructs us:
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord.” This is what
Advent is about, but it is sometimes hard to keep
this focus, when there are such great sales and free
shipping and promises of the lowest prices of the
season. But, as always, we are not left on our own.
Paul’s letter to the Philippians reminds us that God,
“who began a good work in you will continue to
complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.” We can do
it. We can prepare our hearts and minds to receive
Him – our greatest Gift.
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
Few doctrines of the Catholic Church are as
misunderstood as the dogma of the Immaculate
Conception of Mary. Many people, including many
Catholics, think that it refers to the conception of
Christ through the action of the Holy Spirit in the
womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. That event,
though, is celebrated at the feast of the Annunciation
of the Lord (March 25, nine months before Christmas). The Immaculate Conception refers to the
condition that the Blessed Virgin Mary was free from
Original Sin from the very moment of her conception
in the womb of her mother, Saint Anne. We celebrate
the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8; nine months before is December 8, the Feast
of the Immaculate Conception.
