On solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, pope encourages renewing our \u2018yes\u2019 to God Pope Leo XIV led the Angelus prayer Dec. 8 from the window of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican on the occasion of the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. Addressing the faithful and pilgrims in attendance in St. Peter\u2019s Square, the pontiff commented that on Dec. 8 we express our joy because the Father of heaven wanted her to be \u201cpreserved immune from all stain of original sin.\u201d \u201cThe Lord has granted to Mary the extraordinary grace of a completely pure heart, in view of an even greater miracle: the coming of Christ the Savior,\u201d he added. The pope also noted that the gift of the fullness of grace in the young woman of Nazareth \u201cwas able to bear fruit because she in her freedom welcomed it, embracing the plan of God.\u201d He emphasized that \u201cthe Lord always acts in this way: He gives us great gifts, but he leaves us free to accept them or not.\u201d For the Holy Father, this feast also invites us to \u201cbelieve as she believed, giving our generous assent to the mission to which the Lord calls us.\u201d In this way, he pointed out that the miracle that happened for Mary at her conception was \u201crenewed for us in baptism: Cleansed from original sin, we have become children of God, his dwelling place and the temple of the Holy Spirit.\u201d \u201cThe \u2018yes\u2019 of the mother of the Lord is wonderful, but so also can ours be, renewed faithfully each day, with gratitude, humility, and perseverance, in prayer and in concrete acts of love, from the most extraordinary gestures to the most mundane and ordinary efforts and acts of service. In this way, Christ can be known, welcomed, and loved everywhere and salvation can come to everyone,\u201d he emphasized.
