THEIMMACULATECONCEPTION

THEUNIQUEDIGNITYOFOURLADY.

DeliveringthefirstoftheAdvent ConferencesatSt.Saviour's,.Dublin, theVeryRev.'LouisRyantookforhis textthewordsoftheMagnificat:-"He thatismightyhathdonegreatthings tome,andholyisHisName"(Luke i.,491,andspokeasfollows:Thesweetandsacred,wordsofthe textwerespokenbytheBlessedVirgin.Theyareveryfamiliartous, andalsoverydear.TheVirginMother'swordspreservedtousare few;but,likethewordsofherDivine Son,theyliveattheveryheartofthe world.Theyshalloutlastandoutlive theheavensandtheearth.Thetides mayceasetoebbandflow,leafand flowerandfruitmayfail,butthewords oftheBlessedVirginshallnotperish withtheyears.Theyshareinthe deathlessfameandeternalmemoryof allthatcloselyorremotelybelongsto thestoryoftheIncarnationoftheSonofGod-theindestructiblestoryof Bethlehem,Nazareth,Calvary,andthe redemptionoftheworld.Forthat reason,iffornoother,thewordsof OurBlessedLadymeritourdeepand mostearnestreligiousattention.The wordsofthetextarethegreatestof allherwords,thefullestrevelationwe haveofthethoughtsthatwerenearest anddearesttoherheart.Theyform partofthatCanticleofherswhich wecallthe"Magnificat,"theinspired outpouringofherpraiseandgrateful loveassheponderedthegreatthings Godhaddoneforher.IntheDivine CanticlesherecallsfirstwhatGodhad doneforherself,thenshelooksout overthelongrolloftheagesandsees withpropheticspiritthegrowth,the advance,thetriumphofthekingdom ofherSon,thehumanheartyearning forHim,theislandswaitingforHim, thewearyworldoutwornwithitsbarrenphilosophies,andturningtoHim, herSon,"tobefilledwithgoodthings." Whatneedistherethatweshouldtake anywordsbutherownifwewould knowhergreatnessorspeakher praises?"Hethatismightyhathdone greatthingstome,"whichisanother wayofsaying:Hethatismightyand Ilethatisholybathdonegreatthings tome.AllthepowerandalltheholinessofGodhavebeenputforthin makingmetheMotheroftheRedeemer,inpreparingmetoministertoHim ofmyownbeing,togiveHimthe Heartthatwastobepiercedandthe Bloodthatwastobe.shedforthe world'sredemption.Hethatismighty andholyhathdonegreatthingstome, thingsunheardofbefore,newthingson earth,abreakinthelongtaleofthe world'stribulation-greatthingsoverpassingtheutmostboundsofthought.

Thefirstofthesegreatthingswas thegift,thegrace,thesingularglory oftheImmaculateConception.TheimmcaulateConceptionsimplymeans thatMary,fromthefirstmomentof herexistence,was,bythegraceofGod, freefromthetaintoforiginalsin.The memorableandauthenticstatementof thisdogmaisthatcontainedinthe Bull"IneffabilisDeus."Thisisthe DecreebywhichPopePiusIX.on December8,1854,definedthedoctrine.

"TothehonouroftheholyandundividedTrinity,tothegloryand adornmentoftheVirginMotherof God,totheexaltationoftheCatholic faithandtheincreaseoftheCatholic religionbytheauthorityofOurLord JesusChrist,bythatoftheholyApostles,PeterandPaul,andbyourown authority,wedeclare,pronounce,and definethatthedoctrinewhichholds thattheMostBlessedVirginMary,inthefirstinstantofherConception,was byasingulargraceandprivilegeof AlmightyGod,throughtheforeseen meritsofJesusChrist,theSaviourof mankind,preservedfreefromallstain oforiginalsin,'hasbeenrevealedby God.,andthat,therefore,itmustbe firmlyandconstantlybelievedbyall thefaithful.Ifthereforesome(which, Godforbid)darerashlytoholdthe contraryofthisdefinition,letthem knowtheyhave MadeShipwreckoftheFaith andareseparatedfromtheunityof theChurch.'1

Weseefromthedefinitionthatthe ImmaculateConceptionwasconferred byasingulargraceandprivilegeof AlmightyGod.Thissectionofthe Decreeindicates,firstly,thedistinction betweenthesinlessnessofChristand thesinlessnessofMary.ThesinlessnessofChristwasHisinHisown right,simplybecauseHewasGod.He wasconceivedoftheHolyGhostand bornofaVirgin.Thesinlesslessof Marywasnothersinherownright ShewasachildofAdam,beingthe daughterofJoachimandAnna;and

consequences.Secondly,thispartof theDecreemarksthedistinctionbetweenMary'srelationtothefallof Adamandthatoftherestofthehumanrace.Marywouldhavediedin Adamevenasallothers.Shewould havebeenincludedinthedeathsentencepasseduponAdamandthe wholehumanracehadshenotbeen preservedbyasingulargraceand privilegeofAlmightyGod.Thisis whattheologiansmeanwhentheysay Maryincurredthedebtofsinpoten- tially,,butnotactually.Therefore,whentheCouncilofTrentdefinedthe universalityoforiginalsin,itdeclared expresslyithadnointention9fincludingtheImmaculate,VirginMary. Again,thedogmaticdefinitionstatesthatthisspecialprivilegewasaccoxded "throughtheforeseenmeritsofJesus Christ,theSaviourofmankind.'At first'sightitmayappearthatsince Maryincurrednooriginalsinsheneedednoredemption,whereasChristdied forallmankind.Thereisredemptionbyreparationandredemptionbypre- servation.AsChristredeemedthe restofmankindfromsinafterithad been'contracted,soHeredeemedHis motherfromthenecessityofcontractingit.Hereinliestheprivilegeofthe ImmaculateConception.Itshowsus Christ'sabsolutepoweroversin.His redemptionoftherestofmankind shovsprimarilyHispowertoundosin. HisredemptionofMaryshowsprimar- ilyHispowertopreventsin.This givesusastrongmotiveofhavingrecoursetoHimwhenwearetempted byourenemies, TheWorld,theFlesh,andtheDevil, tocommitsin.Then,again,thedefinitiontellsuspreciselywhattheImmaculateConceptionwas-namely, thatMarywaspreservedfreefromall stainoforiginalsin.Lastly,theDecreesaysthatthetruthwasrevealed byGod.Thefitnessandantecedent probabilityofsuchatruthisevident fromtherelationofMarytotheIncarnation.Godfromalleternity foresawthatmanwouldsinandalso fromalleternity,decreedthatman shouldberedeemedbyaSaviourborn ofaVirgin.Itwasfitting,therefore, thatHe becomingshouldadornherwithgraces heroffice.Itisimpossible toconceiveanygracemorebeautifully fitting.forMarythanthegraceofper- fectsinlessness.Godcouldgiveher ..hisprivilege.ThedogmaoftheImmaculateConception,thoughithas onlybeenbroughtfullyintothelightafternineteencenturies,wasalways partofthedepositofrevealedtruth. Inthefirstages,itisclearlytaught bytheFathersoftheChurch."Mary isfreefrom,sin,"affirmsSt.Ambrose. ''Wemustneverutterhernameinthe samebreathassin,"saysSt.Augus- tine."Shealone,"writesSt.Ephrem, "whoisthemotheroflife,shareswith Eve,whoisthemotherofdeath,the privilegeoforiginalinnocence."Long beforethedefinitionofthedogmaand throughouttheMiddleAges,theFeast oftheConceptionoftheBlessedVirginwascelebratedintheWestaswell asintheEast.Therearewriters whoholditwaskeptinSpaininthe seventhcentury,andinEnglandin thetwelfthcentury.Thencepassing into.France,itwascelebratedoverthe wholeWesternChurch.Itwasnot, however,till1357aProvincialSynod heldinDublindecreedthattheFeast oftheConceptionoftheGloriousVirginshouldbesolemnisedinthispro- vinceforever.Astothequestionof Scripturalevidence,itmaybesaidthat althoughScripturedoesnotspeakof thedogma'insetterms,yetthereare passagesfromwhichitmaybeinferred. IntheBullofdefinitionarequotedthe wordsofGodto TheSerpentAftertheFill:

"Iwillputenmitiesbetweenthee andthewoman,betweenthyseedand herseed.sheshallcrushthyheadand thoushaltbeinwaitforherheel."

Itisimpossibletounderstandthistext withoutadmittingtheImmaculate Conception.Foritplacesbefore.us tworaceswhowillbeperpetuallyat war:ontheonesidethewomanand herSon,ontheother,theserpentandhisfollowing.Doesnotthismean thatthewoman,thequeenoftheblessel.race,willnotbelongtotheaccursed race?Theangelicsalutation,"Hail fullofgrace,theLordiswiththee,"is alsointerpretedascontainingthedoctrineimplicitly.Fullofgraceimpliescontainingnothingcontraryto Trace,and,therefore,freefromevery kindofsin.Thissalutationcannot hefullyunderstoodexceptbyadmittingtheperfectanduniqueholiness whichincludestheImmaculateConcep-

AbuseofAuthority

Amongthemostinterestingdiscussionsoftheseventhsocialweek\of (;andianCatholicsrecentlyheldatQuebec(saysanAmericancontemporary) werethoseon"TheAuthorityoftheState."

ThenecessityofauthoritylodgedintheStateisself-evident,-declared ProfessorGeorgesRoy,ofLavalUniversity,butsomephilosophershavedenieditsimportance,whileothershaveexaggeratedit.Ingeneral,heexplained,therehavebeenthreephiloso errorsinregardtoStateauthority-theabsolutisttendencyofHegel,the AitendencyofRousseau,the positivisttendencyofComte.Inoppositionallthese,ProfessorRoysaid:

"AuthorityintheStateisneitherpuredespotism,noramerefictiojuris, noravainprivilege.Itisamoralforcewhichcreatessocialunity,anda humannecessitywhichcanbeanalysedaccordingtothe-principlesofsocial _morality.ItisanindispensableadjunctoftheState,sothatitmaycontrolindividualsforthebenefitofsocietyasawhole.TheState-should neitherleavetheindividualcompletelibertyflaissezfaire"doctrineofthe liberalschool),norcompletelycontrolthe'individual(doctrineoftheSocialistschool),but.shouldbeofassistancetotheindividual.Catholicjurists ascribetwofunctionstotheauthorityoftheState;thefirst,thisindirect oneofbeingofassistancetotheindividual;thesecond,thedirectoneof protectingtherightsoftheindividualandthefamily."
