Gratia plena!
MEDITATION: Today is the Solemnity of the Immaculate
Conception where the Blessed Virgin Mary was saved by God from original sin
from the beginning of her conception in the womb of St. Anne. Mary the Mother
of God’s soul was made immaculate or saved from original sin by God for if it
was not made so from the beginning, then it will appear that Jesus Christ will
be stained by sin from the beginning of His conception in Mary’s womb for the
soul is the one who carries the original sin, and the soul who is in original
sin will damage its relation to the human flesh thus making also the human
flesh impure for the soul is darkened by impurity, malice, and loss of innocence,
just what had happened to Adam and Eve after they ate a fruit of the Tree of
Knowledge. Then even if the only thing Jesus Christ need is humanity that will
be taken from Mary’s human flesh, Jesus Christ Divinity and humanity united
together as one will be stained or compromised by original sin which Mary had
if Mary is not Immaculate Conception. Jesus Christ has two natures. He is
Divine and He is human. Jesus is a Divine Person and His Divine Person will be
united with Mary’s human person thus making His Person God-man, where His
Divinity now becomes His nature and not anymore His own Person. We can see how
great the humility of God is! He compromised His Divine Person when He took His
humanity in Mary. Now His Divine Person is not anymore His Person alone but now
a part of His own Person which is called Divine nature as God-man, and as
God-man, another nature is human. If Mary is not Immaculate Conception or even
full of grace, Mary’s humanity will compromise and stain with sin the Person of
the God-man Jesus Christ, if Mary’s soul is not made immaculate by God from the
very beginning of Mary’s conception in St. Anne’s womb. God willed that from
the beginning, Adam and Eve be holy and without blemish before Him (Ephesians
1:4). Now, if that is God’s will from the very beginning before the foundation
of the world, is it not very fitting to begin again and to have a New Adam in
the Person of Jesus Christ who will be born of Mary, the New Eve?
Adam is immaculate and so is Eve before they fell from sin.
Jesus is immaculate of course and so His mother Mary because Mary is full of
grace and she has found favour with God. Grace and sin cannot be united to each
other. Then how much more is the Immaculate Conception Mary who is full of
grace herself? Is not it right to believe that Mary is the Immaculate
Conception and she is without original sin?
But how the Immaculate Conception began? The Immaculate
Conception began when God said it and He did it. God said the Word and He did
it. The Immaculate Conception began in God’s Eternal Wisdom that this
Immaculate Conception will champion the purity and innocence Adam and Eve lost.
God said it in Genesis that the Immaculate Conception and the serpent will have
enmity against each other and even between the offspring of the serpent and of
hers; the Immaculate Conception will strike at the serpent’s head while the
serpent strike her heel. If there is a continuous battle between Mama Mary and
Satan and between her children and his children, how can you arrive at a diabolic
conclusion that Mary is not the Immaculate Conception?
Indeed, Mama Mary is Immaculate Conception and she is full
of grace!
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are
you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother
of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
“Jesus, I trust in You” “O Mary conceived without sin, pray
for us who have recourse to thee”
