"Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel".
Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Holy Feast of, The Immaculate Conception Of The Blessed Virgin Mary. This Feast commemorates the preservation of the Blessed Virgin from the stain of original sin from the first moment of Her conception. This feast originated in the Eastern Church about the 8th century, and was celebrated on December 9th. In the 11th century it appeared in the Western Church and was first celebrated in England, then in the 14th century it was included in the calendar of the Universal Catholic Church, and to be celebrated on, December 8th.
On this Holy, and the following eight days the Catholic Church celebrates, with particular solemnity, the Immaculate Conception of the ever Blessed Virgin Mary, who, from all eternity, was chosen to be the daughter of the heavenly Father, the spouse of the Holy Ghost, the Mother of the divine Redeemer, and, by consequence, the Queen of all angels and of all men. The consideration of these prerogatives convinced the most enlightened fathers and teachers of the Catholic Church that she was conceived Immaculate, that is, without any original sin, and never did sin. It is very remarkable that among the shining hosts of Saints who have, in every century, adorned the Church no one wrote against this belief, while we find it confirmed by the decisions of the Holy fathers from the earliest times. Pope Pius IX, forced, as it were, by the faith and devotion of the faithful throughout the world, finally, on December 8, 1854, sanctioned, as a dogma of faith falling within the infallible rule of Catholic traditions, this admirable prerogative of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is therefore, now no longer, as formerly, a pious belief, but an article of the faith, that Holy Mary, like the purest morning light which precedes the rising of the most brilliant sun, was, from the first instant of her conception, free from original sin. This dogma is in accord with text of Scripture: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed" (Gen.3, 15), "Hail full of grace" (Luke 1, 28), and was clearly understood and accepted by Tradition, the writings of the Fathers and by feasts observed by the general belief of the Faithful long before it was defined.
Explanation: This lesson is, in the literal sense, a eulogy on the divine and uncreated wisdom, which before all things was in God; through which all things were made, disposed, and preserved; which rejoices in its works, and calls upon all its creatures, especially on men, to render to it love and obedience. Most of what is here said is also to be applied to Holy Mary, of whom it may with truth be said that, as the holiest and most admirable of all creatures, she occupies the first place in the heart of God. Therefore the Church also refers to her those words of the wise man: “I came out of the mouth of the Most High, the first born of all creatures."
