“Holy Mary Mother Of God, Pray For Us Sinners Now And At The Hour Of Our Death, Amen!”

Today, Dec 8, is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, Mother of God – as we Roman Catholics believe. If you do not believe in the Virgin Mary, ergo you do not believe in the Roman Catholic Church!

What is my message to the world on this date, the birth of the Roman Catholics’ “Virgin Mary” who suffered much as mother of Jesus Christ, in turn whom we Catholics believe to be “Savior of the World”?

None!

Because she doesn’t need my help – I need hers!

What is her message to me then, as her son in love? Remember, I just turned 85 on 17 September 2025.

It is this: “Have A Faith.” (HAF) which means I ought to believe in her because she is the mother of my Savior, Jesus Christ. Mary, the Earthly Mother.

“As he grew up, Jesus had faith in me, his Earth Mother. He trusted me 100%, completely. He trusted me when my husband Joseph and I, whose due date was coming up, went to Jerusalem for the census. That’s how Jesus came to be born in Jerusalem.

“The events that happened when my son Jesus grew up were a bit weird, but I accepted them all, as I knew they were all God-declared. (Aside: When Jesus knew it was God-declared, he followed the law.”)

Me: As I was saying in the beginning when I interrupted myself…..

I am a stubborn, diehard etc believer in Jesus Christ as Son of Mary and of God.

“Pope at Angelus: Believe as Mary believed, say ‘yes’ to God” (08 Dec 2025, “Say Yes To God,” vaticannews.va). Isabella H de Carvalho writes:

On the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, Pope Leo XIV prays the Angelus and invites the faithful to believe as Mary did, and to welcome Christ into their lives.

As the son of Mary, Jesus knew that he had inherited Mother Mary’s stubbornness in believing in God, the Father Almighty.

On Monday, December 8, Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, Pope Leo XIV encouraged the faithful to believe in God as the Blessed Virgin Mary did and thus give “our generous assent to the mission to which the Lord calls us.”

He spoke to the crowds gathered in St Peter’s Square for the recitation of the Angelus prayer on this feast day, where the Church celebrates how Mary, at the moment of her conception, was preserved from original sin by a unique grace from God, given in view of the future merits of Christ’s redemption.

“The ‘yes’ of the Mother of the Lord is wonderful, but so also can ours be, renewed each day faithfully, with gratitude, humility and perseverance, in prayer and in concrete acts of love, from the most extraordinary gestures to the most mundane and ordinary efforts and acts of service,” the Pope emphasized.

I blog for goodness’ sake, therefore I am serving the son of Mary, the son of God.@517
