Thanks be to God and to the Church who in her wisdom gave us this day to commemorate the conception of the mother of our saviour and redeemer. Mary should be to all Christian an icon of great motherhood judging by her role over our saviour Jesus Christ. I personally have turned to her in the most difficult of situations to act as mediatrix and I've never been left unaided.

What a timely post from you @mike4christ. But we'd love to know more about the feast: immaculate conception. What does it mean? Whose conception, Mary's or Jesus's? Is it celebrated every 8th December? Why is it celebrated?, e.t.c so as to know more without any derailment.

Well done once again.
