Devotion of the day: being devoted to Mary Immaculate

Immaculate and Holy Mary. Four privileges Mary obtained in her conception: 1 ° she was preserved from original sin, although she was the daughter of Adam; 2 ° she was freed from the fomite of concupiscence, that is, from the rebellion of the flesh against the spirit; 3 ° she was confirmed in Grace, so that she never sinned in her life; 4 ° it was filled with Grace and Charity, and enriched with gifts more than the major Saints and the Angels themselves. Mary thanked the Lord for it; you rejoice, with her, and venerate her.

Grace of living immaculate. Today it is not enough to take part in the joy of Mary, of the Saints, indeed of all the good souls who are fervent in praying, praising, loving Mary: mirrored in her. She spent her entire life without the slightest sin; you, who unfortunately sin against all virtues, propose to avoid voluntary sin in all the days of your life; but, so that the resolution is firm, ask Mary for grace to know how to live immaculate.

Grace of living saints. Glorifying ourselves in being children of Mary, let us be confused at finding ourselves so different from our Mother. She, holy in Her Conception, in every moment of her life increased Her holiness with the exercise of the virtues; perhaps we have not even begun to become saints ... Today you propose to really put yourself there; strengthened in humility, purity, patience, fervor; but, to succeed, ask Mary for the grace to become a saint.
