Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
St. John Henry Newman is to be declared a Doctor of the Church on 1NOV2025, All Saints Day.

The Immaculate Conception

CCC492 The "splendor of an entirely unique holiness" by which Mary is "enriched from the first instant of her conception" comes wholly from Christ: she is "redeemed, in a more exalted fashion, by reason of the merits of her Son". The Father blessed Mary more than any other created person "in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places" and chose her "in Christ before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before him in love".
