Scripture, Reflection and Prayer 12/8/2008

All of us at one time lived among them in the cravings of our flesh...and we were by nature children of wrath, like the others.
- Eph 2:3

Reflection: How far from this woe of those who are born "children of wrath" was the most holy Nativity of Mary! She was free not only from original sin but also from the fuel of misery, insofar as it leads to sin, for she was conceived without sin.
- St. Bonaventure (click on image to read more about this Saint)

Prayer: O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you.
