Feast of the Immaculate Conception
December 8

This excerpt from a sermon of St. Anselm (Oratio 52; PL 158, 955-956) is used in the Roman Office of Readings for the Solemnity (Solemn Feast) of the Immaculate Conception on December 8 along with the accompanying biblical reading from Romans 5:12-20. The doctrine of the sinlessness of Mary from the moment of her conception was believed and taught in the church long before it was solemnly defined as a dogma of faith by Pope Pius IX in the mid 19th century. Mary received her salvation as a pure gift of grace even before she could say yes to that grace. It was by way of anticipation that the fruit of her son's death and resurrection was applied to her at the moment of her conception so that she was spared both the guilt and damaging effects of original sin This was done by God in order to preserve and protect that the holiness of the human nature of his divine Son that would be totally drawn from Mary's human nature and then nurtured in her womb.
