So, I was thinking today about the immaculate conception. And conception in general. Why do people or children have to be conceived at all? I mean, God made Adam and Eve out of nothing or dirt. So why not keep it that way forever? I think maybe to give us a better appreciation for life, he gave a stake or partnership in the process of creating new persons.
I recently was told about a study that shows how stem cells are transferred to a baby in the womb. It was also noted that stem cell from the baby are transferred back to the mother. One of the benefits of this transfer is better health for the mother. Now, let's think about that. If my children can give better health to my wife then just imagine Jesus giving some of his cells back to Mary. Talk about a concept hard to fathom.
Mary had part of Jesus left in her body to strengthen her for the agony she must have felt watching her son die on the cross. As Catholics, we believe in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This means that every time we attend mass and receive the Eucharist we have a piece of Christ present inside us. There is incredible grace and healing power made available to us every singe time week we attend mass. There should be lines down the aisle and out the door waiting for this precious gift.
I'll be going to mass as soon as I can. I'll save a place in line for you. Hope to see you there.
