The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary is celebrated in the texts of the Roman Catholic Lectionary today. The texts are from Genesis and Luke. The Virgin Mary is the new Eve. The plan of the Divine “destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ” according to Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is made flesh through the “yes” “‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word”. The recognizes the interaction of the temporal and the eternal in the celebration of the Mary’s conception as the immaculate being to carry the Promise to flesh. The Word is made flesh and dwells among us in a timeless existence. The entry of the Divine into the “time” and the intimacy of the contact is the joy of today’s liturgy
