On this beautiful ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ข๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ, we celebrate how ๐๐ข๐ chose ๐ด๐๐๐ to be the pure and holy Mother of Jesus, preserving her from original sin right from the moment of her conception. As Archangel Gabriel said, โ๐ฏ๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐
๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐!โ (Luke 1:28), Mary shows us what it means to say "๐๐๐" to God's plan with a heart full of love and trust.
The ๐๐บ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป reminds us that even before Mary carried Jesus in her womb, GOD was already carrying her with a love so powerful that He preserved her from sin from the very first moment of her existence. Not because she was distant from us, but because she was meant to walk closely with us as our ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง, our ๐ข๐ค๐๐๐ก, and our ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐๐ค๐ฃ in faith.
For our young learners here at Santa Teresita Academy, this feast is a gentle lesson:
โ๏ธ Godโs plans always begin with grace.
โ๏ธ Holiness starts with a simple, daily โyes.โ
โ๏ธ Like Mary, we are called to bring Christโs light wherever we go.
Dear STA students and families, let's follow Mary's example in this Advent season by ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐. Pray the Hail Mary today and ask for her intercession to grow closer to God.
