The Feast of the Immaculate Conception

James Martin, S.J.December 08, 2010

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

Making Communion a true meal: bring back wine, sing easy songs and no hosts from the tabernacle
For a true Eucharistic revival in our nation, we need to take seriously the command of Christ and the “General Instruction” of the Roman Missal to increase our efforts to give everyone a complete sign of reception of holy Communion.
