FatherLordTellsHowtheLadyWas

ImmaculateEvenBeforeHerBirth

Despitethecurrentmixed-uppracticeofidealising womenwhileatthesame timeturningtheirbeauty andcharmtothemostcommoncommercialuses,twentieth-centuryCatholics,as haveCatholicsofthecentriespast,stillsingthe praisesoftheoneperfect woman,Mary,theMotherof God,writestheRev.Daniel A.Lord,S.J.,inhismost recentpamphlet,"TheLady WasImmaculate,"which waspublishedinJanuaryby "TheQueen'sWork"in.America.

Writtenincommemorationofthecentenaryof thepromulgationofthedoctrineoftheBlessedVirgin'sImmaculateConception,"TheLadyWasImmaculate"deftlyclarifies themeaningofthedoctrine whichoftenconfusesCatholics.

DeftClarification

InwritingofMary'sImmaculateConception,Father Lorddeclares:"Wemean thatshedidnotknowsin inanywaythattouched herself.Shedidnotsinin thoughtorwordordeedor desire.Shewas'fullof grace'inallthestatesof lifethatwerehers;and `theLordwaswithhe,.' everymomentofeveryday.

"Shewasimmaculatethe instantshewasconceived. Thisiswhatwemeanby theImmaculateConception."

"TheLadyWasInunaculate"stressesthatthe1854 declarationdidnotbring intobeinganewCatholic belief,butonlyconfirmeda tenetthathasbeenheldby CatholicsfromSt.Peter's timetothepresent.

FatherLordanswersthe question,"Ifnotnew,then whythe1854-yeardelayin makingthebeliefoneofthe officialdoctrines?"bystating:

Thedelaywasnotcaused byalackofbeliefin Mary'simmaculateconception.Ratheritwasdueto theneedbytheChurch's theologianstodetermine howMarycouldhavebeen immaculateatthemoment ofconception,sinceshehad beenbornnearlyfivedecadesbeforetheCrucifixion whichreopenedthegates ofheavenandrestoredto mankindgiftswhichAdam hadlost.
