From The Daily Missal and Liturgical Manual with Vespers for Sundays and Feasts revised by Rev. Fr. J. Dukes, S.J. (Leeds, England: Laverty & Sons, Ltd., 1957), here is a beautiful and rare Mass in honor of the interior life of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

It would be most edifying for the servants and children of Mary Most Holy to prayerfully peruse this exquisite Mass formulary on the occasion of Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the same illustrious Virgin, for it reveals to the interior soul some glimpses of the ineffable prodigies and wonders that Our Lord wrought in the His Blessed Mother from the moment her Immaculate Conception.

From the tome Daily Breviary Meditations: Meditations for Every Day on the Scriptural Lessons of the Roman Breviary, in accordance with the Encyclical "Divino Afflante," vol. 1, written by His Excellency the Most Rev. Joseph Angrisani, Bishop of Casale-Monferrato, and translated by Rev. Father Joseph A. McMullin of St. Charles Seminary at Philadelphia, PA (New York: Benziger Brothers, Inc., 1954), here is a commentary upon the lessons of first Nocturn at Matins for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Although these beautiful and edifying reflections were written for clerics, layfolk may gain exceeding great benefit therefrom, especially since the prayerful reading of these commentaries upon Holy Writ may enable the interior soul to enter unto the profundity and behold the sublimity of the sacred Mysteries that the Lord God has vouchsafed us in the selfsame Sacred Scriptures.

Here is a beautiful adaptation of the celebrated Ambrosian Hymn Te Deum written by the great Seraphic Doctor, Saint Bonaventure: to be found in the latter of his works in the tome The Mirror of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Speculum Beatae Mariae Virginis) and The Psalter of Our Lady (Psalterium Beatae Mariae Virginis) (trans. Sr. Mary Emmanual, O.S.B.; St. Louis, MO: B. Herder Book Co., 1932).

This is most appropriate for this Feast Day and for the devotion of all devout children and servants of Our Blessed Lady.

Here in its entirety is a great and useful commentary upon the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception by the renowned Biblical scholar, Dr. T. E. Bird.

This Little Office is truly an epitome of the glories and excellencies of Our Lady, and contains so much of the Sacred Scriptures.
