Project BLACK MAMBA: Advent

Today is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Our Lady-link ūna, Our Lady-link duae, & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Redeemer bulletin:
The Immaculate Conception, according to the teaching the Catholic Church, was the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the womb of her mother Saint Anne, free from original sin by virtue of the foreseen merits of her son Jesus Christ.
Commentary on the commentary: I went to Holy Family yesterday, but there were no bulletins to be had. I credit increased Mass attendance due to Advent & a healing service held there this past Sunday. So what the Holy Family bulletin has to say on this week's solemnities, memorials, & feasts shall remain hidden from our view.


We also remember Saint Eutychian, Pope (died 283): Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.
