Then a large sign appeared in the sky: A female clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a wreath of 12 stars. And she gave birth to the Son, a man who will feed all nations with a rod of iron. And her kid was taken to God and to His throne. And the female fled into the wilderness, where there is simply a place prepared by God to be fed there for a 1000 2 100 sixty days (Ap 12:1-2, 5-6).
Then Mary said, «My soul praises the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. For he saw the lowliness of his servant. Behold, all generations will bless me from now on, for the Almighty has done large things to me. His name is holy - and his mercy for generations and generations [preserves] for those who fear Him. (Lk 1, 46-50).
The fact about the Immaculate Conception of Mary is simply a dogma of faith. He declared it solemnly on 8 December 1854 with the bull of Ineffabilis Deus Pope Pius IX: “We are announcing, ruling, and determining that the discipline which maintains that the Blessed Virgin Mary since the first minute of her conception - by the peculiar grace and privilege of the Almighty God, the power provided for the merit of Jesus Christ, The Savior of the human race - she has been preserved intact from all the sin of the original, she is the fact revealed by God, and so all the faithful should proceed to believe in her without hesitation."
Thus, whoever denies this fact would himself be excluded from the community of the Church, would become apostate and guilty of heresy.
According to Catholic faith, all man who comes into the planet is marked by first sin. This sin is "transferred" along with the transmission of the human nature, which, due to their distrust and disobedience to God, was deprived of first holiness and justice. The first sin is not committed, but is enlisted, not by act, but by the state in which man originates. Only holy baptism frees a man from first sin.
Mary has been preserved from the minute of her conception not only from any sin which she could commit, but besides from all the first sin inherited by us. This happened, though she was not the parent of God at the time. But God, due to the future saving event of the Annunciation, saved Mary from sin. So Mary was conceived in a sanctifying grace, free from all consequences resulting from the first sin (e.g. death - hence in the Church we celebrate the celebration of her Assumption, not death). “The immaculate origin” means not only that Mary was free from first sin, but besides expresses her peculiar closeness with God, full trust in God,
At the time of the apparitions in Lourdes in 1858. Mary confirmed the dogma announced only 4 years earlier. Bernardet Soubirous introduced herself by saying, "I am the Immaculate Conception".
The same fact Our woman confirmed 19 years later in Warmian Gietrzwald. On 1 July 1877, 1 of the seers, Justyna Szafryńska, asked, “Who are you?” and heard in the Warmia (near Polish language) the answer: “I am the Blessed Virgin Mary Immaculate Conception”.
I think it's good to know about it; it will let you to better realize what a actual service to the Blessed Virgin Mary according to St. Louis Maria Grignion de Montfort
And at the same time it will let us to realize who he is, who was born by Our Lady. And knowing this, we will realize better that participating in the liturgy is to glorify God. In his lecture on the liturgy of O. J. Strumiłowski: https://www.youtube.com/embed/8lnrXtr-vRY
