Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception!

Happy Feast!
Happy Feast day to all.
Happy Feast everyone!
I wish everyone at CTS the happiest of feasts today.
The explanation at the Catholic Education Center was very helpful in helping us to explain this doctrine to non-Catholics. It shows the part played by Tradition in the faith as well as Scripture.
Happy Feast!
Bernie,
I agree – that American resource center is very good. I think I’m right in saying that today is a holiday in Italy, for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, so they’re clinging on by a thread to the faith!
Wishing all bloggers at CTS, a very happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Ave Maria!
Happy Feast!
The Lourdes hymn fits this Feast – enjoy, everyone! Happy Feast day, bloggers!
I wish everyone at CTS, a very happy Feast day today.
This is my favourite hymn to Our Lady although most of the verses are missing, they sing the same few verses twice, for some unfathomable reason, LOL!

MM,
I’ve tried to get that YouTube link to open out for you, but it just won’t obey my instructions!
I’ll Sing a Hymn to Mary is also one of my own favourites but, sorry, not that version – the jazzy bits in between verses drives me nuts! Still, lovely words, so thank you for posting.
Since nobody has posted a joke, however, here’s one that made me laugh… Why is it appropriate for this Feast? Because there is a lesson there for us all about the importance of NOT being materialistic… 😀
Ha ha, thats very funny! Yes, materialism is a soul destroyer.
