THE OCTAVE OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTIION
OF THE MOST BLESSED VIRGIN
Vol. 1 The Liturgical Year
Dom Prosper Gueranger
Let us once more devoutly reverence the mystery of Mary's Immaculate Conception: Our Emmanuel loves to see His Mother honored. After all, its it not for Him and for His sake that this bright star was prepared from all eternity, and created when the happy time fixed by the divine decree came? When we honour the Immaculate Concpetion of Mary, it is really to the divine mystery of the Incarnation that we are paying our just homage. Jesus and Mary cannot be separated, for Isaias tells us that She is the branch and He the Flower."
Jesus, while hanging on the cross said "Forgive them for they know not what they do." That is even more true now than ever. How do people know how to be proper Catholics? By reading a book or by an example of what they see? Books are helpful to us who have delved into old books and found the Truth, but most people do not do that, they watch and learn.
I truly understand the frustration you feel. Most of us who have come to tradition came in fighting and realized that we were only making it worse. The authority has to bring back Truth and all of us laity do not have that power.
Have you taken this to the White House and asked them to make the correction? You might be surprised at the results.
