Immaculate Conception

HAND PAINTED PLASTER STATUE – 10 Inches High & 3 Inches Width

STORY ABOUT HER
This vocation was born when Pope Pius IX, on December 8, 1854 declared her as a dogma of faith for the Catholic Church. This was supported by the words of the archangel Gabriel when he said, God save you, Mary, full of grace. Being full of grace, it implies that she did not have the original sin, the sin of Adam and Eve, because for the son of God to be born, he had to be born in an absolutely immaculate body, that had no sin, not even the original. She is patron saint of the United States, of Spain, of Nicaragua. They also know her as Our Lady of Pure Conception. The immaculate conception of Mary constitutes Good News of hope in the liberation from sin brought by the redemption of Christ on the cross.

WHEN DO WE PRAY HER?

We pray to the Immaculate Conception for enlightenment, guidance in difficult times, hope and salvation. We ask her to be our model for a full, clean life and thus be part of the project that God has for all of us. Help us to be victorious after defeat, to have faith and peace in our soul.

PRAYER
Oh God that by the virgin you prepared a worthy dwelling for your son, oh I pray that just as you preserved her from every stain in prevention of the death of the same son, you grant us also that through her intercession we come to your presence pure of all sin . Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen
