Immaculate Conception

6-St.Peter

Immaculate conception is celebrated every 8th of December. Immaculate conception is according to Roman Catholic Dogma, the conception of the Virgin Mary without any stain of original sin. Last December 8 we celebrated the immaculate conception by offering a mass. The holy Eucharist was held at Our Lady Of Light Parish at exactly 10:00 am. The first reading was read by Mrs. Adina Villagracia, the psalm was sang by Mrs. Erlinda Buenavente, the second reading was read by Ms.Marichu Bautista and the prayers of the faithful was read by Mrs. Lorna Ruitas. The holy gospel was from the gospel of saint Luke 1:26-38.The homily of the priest was all about the cleanliness and holiness of Virgin Mary’s life. He also told us about the verbal announcement to Mary by angel Gabriel. But even though Mary is the mother of Jesus she still stayed humble and kind and Mary also live a simple but meaningful life. The priest also told us that there is no exception in following Mary’s life, no matter who you are and who did you live for as long as you have faith. When the priest asked who wants to follow Mary’s life all the people there raised their hands but then he told us its easy to say that you will follow Mary’s life but it’s hard to do. Then in the offertory part lots of flowers were offered. Before the mass has ended Atty. Logan showed us some of the pictures about how did typhoon Ondoy affected Cainta specially Our Lady Of Light Parish and Cainta Catholic College. Sadness were seen in every pupils and teachers faces. But then Atty. Logan told us how the people in the parish helped each other to clean the place and how they helped the affected families. After that the mass has finally ended. But it left happiness in our faces because of that we know ,unity and cooperation are still in every person’s heart.
