About this Episode

Homily from the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

This feast day of the Immaculate Conception is not just a privilege for Mary: it's a prophecy for us.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception reveals God's plan to conquer sin not just by repairing what is broken, but by preparing a path where grace triumphs first. This Advent we are invited to enter into the "Sacrament of the Present Moment", where God offers real, life-changing grace in each moment we choose to be present to Him. Mary's unique "yes" reminds us to stop waiting and to respond to God's already-given grace with a wholehearted and immediate "yes".
