"To become the mother of the Savior, Mary 'was enriched by God with gifts appropriate to such a role.'" - CCC 490 Mary’s unique and holy role as the Mother of God was prepared by God Himself, filling her with grace and purity. She is the perfect model of faith, humility, and obedience, showing us how to say “yes” to God’s call. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee! Happy Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception! #focuscatholic #immaculateconception #solemnity
