Oh, God, who gives me this day to celebrate Mary’s Immaculate Conception. You always give to Your creation what is needed to save us from sin. Give me the grace to be worthy of the promises of Christ. In Mary You found a sinless soul, someone who was worthy to carry Your Son, Jesus, in her womb, not scared by sin, to raise Him to become our Savior. Allow me to say with Mary, “Here I am Lord, I too come to do Your will." Amen.


Mary, born without sin, prayer for me.
