Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmanz and this is Ascension Presents.

Every year when the feast of the macula conception rolls around, what's the macula conception?

From the very first moment of her conception, Mary was preserved from all state of original

sin by the merits of her son's future life, death and resurrection.

In a singular act of grace, I made a video about this a while back that kind of explained

here's why we believe that and here's where you can see it in scripture and whatnot.

Anyways, one of the things that I find when it comes to Mary then, so she was about

sin, okay, I find that then people are upset.

They're resentful.

They're kind of a little jealous.

They're like, what the heck?

Seriously?

So she doesn't have to have sin, so she gets to be the perfect one and I have to muddle

through this world and struggle and strain at this.

But she got to have the termed life, she got to have perfection, she got to not have

to deal with all the things I have to deal with.

Thanks a lot God.

Sometimes actually you might think that's ridiculous.

I've talked to people who are very, very upset that they say, well, if God could have done

that with Mary, why didn't he do that with everyone?

That's why the dogman says in a singular act of grace, right?

So it's a very unique situation.
