Family Reflection Video: The Immaculate Conception

Today on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary we reflect on the beauty and goodness of Mary.

Dear friends, our country needs our prayers during this time. Pray also that each of your loved ones become their truest and best selves, living holy and grace-filled lives.

Just as Immaculate Mary said “Yes” freely to God’s plan, may we have the grace to say “Yes” to his plan for ourselves and our families, too. On this Holy Day, what is God calling you and your family to say “Yes” to?

Thank you for joining us today. May this celebration of the Immaculate Conception bring joy and hope in your homes this Advent season. God bless.
