The dogma of the Immaculate Conception has
this as its sole significance: that no
human being can set in motion salvation by their own powers alone, but that
their Yes is wrapped around and supported by that
divine love which comes first and before all else.
--Pope Benedict
XVI
Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception!
(celebrated this year on December 9th
because the 8th falls on a Sunday in Advent)
