Friends of the Rosary,
Today, the First Friday of the month, the Roman Catholic Church commemorates Blessed Pius IX (1792-1878).
Pius IX [in the picture] defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on December 8, 1854. He also celebrated the First Vatican Council from 1869 to 1870, representing the dogma of papal infallibility.
The Immaculate Conception doctrine reveals that Mary was conceived without original sin from the first moment of her existence. It emphasizes Mary’s unique role in salvation history as the pure and sinless mother of Jesus Christ.
The papal bull Ineffabilis Deus stated:
“We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be firmly and constantly believed by all the faithful.”
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
