On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, we have a new video meditation on the readings for the day, on our homepage and here as well on our Youtube channel.  (Thanks to Kerry Weber for producing such a beautiful video.)  The Anchoress (aka Elizabeth Scalia) also has a lovely meditation on the confluence of the Immaculate Conception and St. Bernadette Soubirous in a new podcast.  And yes, St. Bernadette did "blow the priest's mind" with her declaration of what she heard in the Grotto of Lourdes.  Happy Feast Day.

James Martin, SJ
