"The New Eve" | Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception (Fr. Mike's Homily)

Mary was preserved from sin by the merits of her Son's life, death, and resurrection.
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is a testament to God's goodness. He gives what we need for the mission to which we have been called. And He calls all of us to enter into deeper relationship with the Family of God by cultivating a relationship with Mary, the Mother of God.

Father Mike, it only just occurred to me. I don’t know how or when your videos started popping up on my feed. I started praying the rosary a while ago, with the help of KZbin videos and somehow some way (I think we both know how) your videos popped up and I started watching them! Without even realizing it they always help me hear something I need to hear. Thank you SO much, and God Bless

So beautifully! ✝️🙏✝️

As we all know, Mary was born a sinner and as she said herself, she needed a Savior. She did die a normal death as the wages of sin call for.

[@vimelendez4796]

Mary is pure. God the Father is not going to send His Son to be born of a sinful woman. Jesus is pure

[@Nobody-j9e]

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

What beautiful meaningful words! I was have been reciting the Rosary for years but the true meaning was hidden. I was defined by my naive beliefs that I was “worshiping” Mary. But a moment of epiphany “Hail Mary full of grace…” this is literally biblical!! And asking Mary to pray at the time of our death is so important given that we can’t pray after death, to rescue us from purgatory. Mind blown!! Just goes to show blind I can be even after “knowing” the faith!

I think I have lost track of how long Ive been watching your homilies Fr.Mike. It must be 4 months! Anyway, about 2 weeks ago I began to say the rosary daily. It honestly felt so compelling to me to just START it. So i did. I truly believe hand on heart that it's all down to God's grace and blessing...all because of that first homily I watched all those months ago. I would never have known the true word of God if not for your teachings, Fr.Mike. THANK YOU. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we are grateful you became a priest ♡

[@parysethibodeau9474]

So many graces received praying the Rosary every day 🙏 Mother Mary is a good mother 💙

[@kerryfaden94]

This is so cool I do say the rosary But to see it as bringing Mary in your house and talking to her like a Mother How great is that!

[@thedisconnectedwife4165]

I have been praying the rosary daily without fail for almost 4 years now. I do other things as well ie.. Divine Office, daily mass readings, daily reflection on the Gospel reading of the day. Sometimes I'm short for time in the morning, but at the very least, I'll pray the rosary. It's the most important to me. In a way, it screws my head on straight for the day ahead.

[@deehyatt8156]

through my tears, Im nodding, I will pray the rosary.

[@sharipotter-i8g]

thank you for that reminder!

[@btan1453]

Pray the Rosary everyday for everyone and everything, especially impossible requests. God works in mysterious ways. God bless you too Fr Mike. You are in my prayers.

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

I completely agree, the rosary is very important!❤

[@nicolerodenbour4779]

Thank you Father Mike. You have helped me have a better understanding of my faith. You are always in my prayers.🙏🙏🙏

[@colleenconger5265]

Mary has begged us all to say the rosary every single day, and I have been saying it every single day for a couple of years….. along with the Divine Mercy chaplet, etc 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@_eemjee_]

i think God gave graces to me all this time. i pray the rosary every night without knowing the reason behind the prayer, i just believe. i go to mass first thing every Sunday morning without eating anything, so i fast more than 10hrs before taking the eucharist unaware that Catholics are encouraged to do so. these are only 2 among the things i do as a Catholic Christian without enough knowledge. but thanks to priest like you Fr. Mike, and also Fr. Chris. i am learning more every day. and most importantly, thank God for loving this undeserving and unworthy sinner. God bless us all!

[@EliB567a]

Yes excellent plan: will do. Many of the great saints prayed the Rosary & had a great devotion to Our Lady. ❤

All the Bible says is that the Messiah would come through a virgen, NOT a sinless virgen. Please!!!!! Don't add to the Word of God.

[@carolinajackson7621]

A sinless woman???? Not in the Bible: "for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, " please!!!!! Don't add to the Word of God!

[@carolinajackson7621]

Everything we believe about Mary is a reflection of what we believe about Jesus???? That's wrong theology, sorry.

[@carolinajackson7621]

"She saved her BRFORE she sinned"???? 1. That goes against the gospel message. 2. We don't read any of that in the Bible.

[@rachelnaturegirl]

Beautiful message

[@JayRedding12_12]

I did that with the Rosary. When I was a little boy I didn't realize all the Gaces I was receiving from God. I stopped praying around Jounor High School. When I Reverted the Rosary was the first thing I did. I missed our Blessed Mother. Now after a few years the Rosary I see the Graces. I don't say this out of pride, I say this as an example. The Rosary should be not optional.

[@janefosha7847]

Thank you!

[@mariace4848]

Man, Fr. Mike why you gotta say things that make so much sense. It’s hard ask but in a smaller time frame it doesn’t seem completely overwhelming. I will say the rosary daily from now until Christmas because He so. Harrumph.

Adam and Eve were created immaculate, without sin. God foretells the Immaculate Conception of Mary in Genesis 3:15
