A proposito di questo titolo
Episode Highlights:
- The True Feast: The homily clarifies a common misconception, emphasizing that today we celebrate the Immaculate Conception of Mary—the moment she was conceived without original sin. This moment restored perfection to a fallen world.
- The Perfect Example: The speaker argues that the perfectibility of any endeavor (like basketball) is limited because no one is perfect. However, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the glorious exception, a perfect person for all humans to imitate.
- Mary, though totally human, was perfect, proving that all people have somebody to imitate.
- This reality gives our lives mind-blowing potential and a supreme, hardly imaginable glory, as seen in the miracles and incorrupt bodies of the Saints who followed her example.
- The Virtue of Humility: Mary's most admirable virtue is humility.
- Humility means understanding who we truly are and living authentically, without becoming more or less critical.
- St. John Vianney describes it as the chain that holds all other virtues together; without it, all other virtues are worthless and lead to pride.
- Humility in Practice: The homily discusses both the easy and hard parts of humility.
- Easy Part: Mary didn't go around promoting herself; she quietly pondered profound things in her heart.
- More challenging Part: Humility also means being confident when necessary—speaking up when you know the answer, or volunteering to sing if you have a good voice.
- A Sign of Humility: The speaker expresses profound admiration for non-Catholics and those who approach the altar with crossed arms to indicate they are not receiving Holy Communion. This humble act shows a focus on the Lord and a lack of concern for others' judgment.
