Advent and Mary, the Theotokos

 
Mary - The Holy Theotokos
 
 
The Theotokos - the God-bearer has been revealed on the earth in truth,
Proclaimed of old by the words of the prophets,
Foretold by the wise patriarchs and the company of the righteous.
 
She will exchange glad tidings with the honor of women:
Sarah, Rebecca, and glorious Hannah,
and Miriam, the sister of Moses.
 
All the ends of the earth shall rejoice with them,
Together will all of creation.
 
For God shall come to be born in the flesh,
Granting the world great mercy. 
 
The Mass of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
 is December 8 @ 10 AM
