COMMENTARY UPON MESSAGES
December 8th
1983
“My child, I am the Immaculate
Conception” (Our Lady)
Our Lady appears to Luz Amparo with the name of Immaculate Conception the day the Church
celebrates this solemnity, as She also did in 1858
with saint Bernadette in Lourdes, in her 16th apparition. That day
(March 25th 1858) the girl asked Our Lady who she was four times; She did not stop smiling, and finally She looked at Heavens,
put her hands together on her chest and answered: “I am the Immaculate Conception”.
It was not easy- indeed it was
very hard- for Bernadette Soubirous to tell the
parish priest of Lourdes what the Mother of God had told her; the dean Peyramale thought the girl was lying. The author of The Song of Bernadette wrote:
“Peyramale
puts a wooden chair close to Bernadette (…)
- Well, what has the lady told you today?, he asks
- She has said, “I’m L’Inmaculada
Councepciou- She answers, trying to remember what The
Lady had told her.
- And do you know the meaning of that? I am the
Immaculate Conception…
- No, I don’t. (…)
- Then, I’ll tell you, my little child, the meaning of
Immaculate Conception (…) If The Blessed Virgin were really talking to you, She
would refer to herself saying: “I am the fruit of the Immaculate Conception.
But She cannot say “I am the Immaculate Conception” (…). Therefore, she has
made an unforgivable mistake…” (1)
The priest of Lourdes was wrong when he judged Our
Lady’s words; however, he would later stand for the apparitions. Saint Mary
Bernadette was the instrument of heavens to transmit a historical sentence
coming from Mary’s lips, which is commonly used nowadays to refer to the dogma
of the Immaculate Conception. At the cave of Massabielle,
the words uttered by Our Lady are carved in the local patois dialect, which was
used by The Virgin to talk with saint Bernadette: “I AM
THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION”
What means to our faith that
Mary is immaculate?
Pope Pius IX proclaimed in December 8th
1854 in his Apostolic Constitution Ineffabilis that it was a truth revealed by God and,
consequently, all the faithful have to believe in it, he also pointed out that “the
most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instant of her conception, by a singular
grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus
Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of
original sin” (2).
This means:
1. The original sin is the guilty absence of sanctifying
grace because of Adam’s fall. Mary was preserved of this absence of grace;
therefore, She was created with the sanctifying grace
from her very first moment. Indeed, archangel saint Gabriel called Her “full of
grace” (Lk1, 28)
2. God gave her the gift of being free from the original
sin; this was an exceptional law, only applied to her.
3. Mary needed redemption and She
was indeed redeemed, but in a different way; like any other Adam’s child, She
would have had to contract the original sin, but She was preserved because of
an special involvement of God. In other words, Our Savior’s Mother was
preserved before being stained by the original sin. For example, we could save
a bird once it
had fallen on the mud, and then we could clean it, or we could rescue it before
it fell down and got stained; this is what happened to the Virgin: God
preserved her because of the merits of his Son’s redemption, as the song says,
“…among all mortals, only She was preserved from Adam’s sin…”
“I want your souls as beautiful, my children, as
I am. I pour my light everywhere; but they do not listen, my children.
Look at my
Heart. You may see me beautiful but inside My heart is
sad and full of sorrow”
The Immaculate Conception is also the Most Pure: “You
are all beautiful, Oh Mother of God”, says a liturgical hymn. For this reason
Luz Amparo says in another part of the message “You`re so beautiful! You’re so beautiful!
You’re so beautiful! You’re so beautiful!” Her dazzling beauty, of body and
soul, is far from us. Once Luz Amparo described her
this way: “She’s got green eyes, quite almond- shaped; her eyebrows are very
beautiful and curved, not very widely spaced in the middle; straight long nose;
thick lips, her lower lip is a bit thicker (…) rather a small mouth, long face
but with full cheeks; beautiful long reddish brown hair; She is thin and She is
1’70 cm high; her feet are very thin…” All this has been reflected in two pictures
so popular among Prado Nuevo’s pilgrims; they were
painted by Elvira Soriano in the 80s.
