The Immaculate Conception
Dear Friends,
A reading from Luke’s Gospel (1:26-33):
In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

Today we honor Our Blessed Mother Mary on Her great feast of the Immaculate Conception. Many Catholics will go to church today to Holy Mass and they will receive the Holy Eucharist. They will pray the rosary in Our Lady’s honor and ask Her for all their needs. She is Our Mother and we should love to go to Her not only on Her great feasts but every day of the year. She cares for each one of Her children and She loves us all. Let us have a great devotion to our heavenly Mother.
Below you will find the message of Our Most Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“You are in My Heart My dear son Melvin and all My sons and daughters living in every part of the world. I am your Mother who carries you in My prayers every day of your life. I intercede for each and every one of you before My Son Jesus that you may receive all the help and graces you need so that one day you will be with Jesus and with Me in heaven. As I told St. Bernadette, ‘I am the Immaculate Conception.’ I was preserved from original sin at My conception and I was preserved from sin all the days of My life on earth. This is a great privilege I received from God the Father in view of being the Mother of God the Father’s Son, Jesus. I accepted the call to be the Mother of the Savior of the world through the angel Gabriel, which I know came from Our Heavenly Father. I was protected since My conception for this great task.
“Now besides being the Mother of Jesus, I am also your Mother. I call you all to listen to My call and to come and follow Jesus, Your Lord and Savior. This decision is or will be the most important in your life. Remember your destiny is heaven but you need to obey My Son Jesus on earth and to be members of His Church. Open your heart completely to Him. I love you all.”
