Tomorrow is a Holy Day of Obligation


We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the first instant of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace of the Omnipotent God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind, was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin, has been revealed by God, and therefore should firmly and constantly be believed by all the faithful.
—Pope Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus, December 8, 1854

 Tomorrow is the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Principal Patroness of the Philippines!

Do not forget to go to Mass, go to confession and receive Holy Communion.

Viva La Virgen!


Tota pulchra es, Maria,
et macula originalis non est in te.
Vestimentum tuum candidum quasi nix, et facies tua sicut sol.
Tota pulchra es, Maria,
et macula originalis non est in te.
Tu gloria Jerusalem, tu laetitia Israel, tu honorificentia populi nostri.
Tota pulchra es, Maria.

You are all beautiful, Mary,
and the original stain [of sin] is not in you.
Your clothing is white as snow, and your face is like the sun. You are all beautiful, Mary,
and the original stain [of sin] is not in
you.
You are the glory of Jerusalem, you are the joy of Israel, you give honour to our people. You are all beautiful, Mary.
