 Mary Immaculate
“Pure as the snow,” we say, Ah! never flakeMary Attentive Mother
Fell through the air one-tenth as fair as
Mary’s soul was made for Christ’s dear sake.
Virgin Immaculate,
The whitest whiteness of the Alpine snows,
Beside thy stainless spirit, dusky grows,
“Pure as the stars.” Ah! never lovely night
Wore in its diadem So pure a gem
As that which fills the ages with its light.
Virgin Immaculate, 
The peerless splendors of thy soul by far
Outshine the glow of heaven’s serenest star.

For Reflection:

Dear Mother, You were kept free from the stain of original sin so the Word of God could make His abode in you. Today, on this feast which celebrates your Immaculate Conception, I ask you to obtain for me the grace I need to resist sin and to live for Christ alone (Name sin or other failing). Be the mother of my soul, Mary. Nurture me in your tender heart. Take my hand and lead me to your Son. Amen.

The Holy Spirit Can Transform Your
Suffering
The transforming work of the Holy Spirit did not end with book of Acts. The real life stories of Living Life Abundantly show that the power of the Spirit to transform lives in the midst of life’s most challenging difficulties is only a life-changing prayer away.
