DAY 9 with OUR LADY
The dogma of Immaculate Conception is one of the four Marian dogmas promulgated by the Church. The summit of this dogma is to define the conception of our Lady and freedom from original sin.
However, in other to give man his rightful place after losing the original grace, God in His plan saw in our Lady "Mother of God" picked interest in her to assist in the Divine plan to bridge the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament records God's plan for man's salvation in His preparations to make the world ready for the Incarnation. Of all the tribes of the earth He chose a particular people to whom He reveals Himself. He nurtures and instructs them through His prophets in order for them to be able to recognize the Son of God when it was time for Him to come. In order to accomplish this He takes these people to Himself in a covenant bond, establishing worship based on sacrifice to prepare them to understand the ultimate sacrifice that the Son of God would offer for the salvation of man, for these people would be the conduit through which the message of the Son would be carried to the world. And when the time came, from among these people, He chooses a woman from a certain preordained family, the house of David. It was absolutely necessary that she be set apart in her purity and virtue so as not to make the Incarnation of the Son of God a sacrilege and so she is conceived without original sin and set apart in a holy state of purity and perpetual virginity.

Let us pray
Merciful Lord, through the Immaculate Conception of your Mother, we have been redeemed. Grant that we pray, that our plea may find favour in Your sight through her intercession. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
