Episode notes
Immaculate Conception Clarified
- The Immaculate Conception does not refer to Jesus's conception.
- It refers to Mary's conception without original sin, through grace.
Original Sin as Loss
- Original sin isn't a stain added, but a loss of grace and original justice.
- This loss caused disorder between humanity, God, each other, ourselves, and creation.
Mary's Fullness of Grace
- The angel Gabriel's greeting, "full of grace," implies Mary's past sanctification.
- Unlike us, Mary was already perfected in grace, which we strive for.
