The Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin

Today is the great celebration of the Virgin Mary, God’s Mother and our Mother too. We celebrate that she was conceived full of Grace, without the blemish of original sin. From the very first moment of her existence she was full of God and fully united to His Divine Will. However, it does not mean that her life was an "easy" one. She grew up and learned as we do: through effort. - Do you remember where Jesus was born? It was not easy for Mary! Do you remember where Jesus Christ died? It was not easy, either!
