Having decided, from all Eternity, to make Mary The Mother of The Incarnate Word (Epistle), God willed that she should crush the head of the serpent from the moment of her Conception.

He covered her "with a Mantle of Holiness" (Introit) and, "preserving her Soul from all stain, He made her a worthy dwelling place for His Son" (Collect).

The Feast of The "Conception" of The Virgin was; from the 8th-Century A.D., Celebrated in The East on 9 December; from the 9th-Century A.D., in Ireland, on 3 May; and, in the 11th-Century, in England, on 8 December.

The Benedictines, with Saint Anselm, and The Franciscans, with Duns Scotus (1308), favoured The Feast of The "Immaculate Conception," which, in 1128, was kept in Anglo-Saxon Monasteries.

In the 15th-Century, Pope Sixtus IV, a Franciscan, erected, at The Vatican, The Sixtine (Sistine) Chapel in honour of The Conception of The Virgin. And, on 8 December 1854, Pope Pius IX officially proclaimed this great Dogma, making himself the mouthpiece of all the Christian Tradition summed up in the words of the Angel: "Hail Mary, full of Grace, The Lord is with thee, Blessed art thou among women" (Gospel). "Thou art all beautiful, O Mary, and the original stain is not in thee" says in truth the Alleluia Verse.

Like the Dawn, which announces the day, Mary precedes The Sun of Justice, which will soon illumine The World of Souls. Bringing to us her Son, it is she who first appears in The Liturgical Cycle.

Let us ask God "to heal us and to deliver us from all our sins" (Secret, Postcommunion) in order that, by the Graces which specially belong to The Feast of The "Immaculate", we may become more worthy of receiving Jesus in our hearts when He comes into them on 25 December.

Every Parish Priest celebrates Mass for the people of his Parish.

Mass: Gaudens gaudébo.
Commemoration: Of The Feria.
Preface: Of The Blessed Virgin: Et te in Conceptione Immaculáta; which is said during The Octave.
