The Tightrope: Reflections for Busy Catholics

3 Lessons from Our Lady

As the feast of the Immaculate Conception passes, we turn to Mary at this point in Advent. Her sinlessness, virginity, and virtue are especially important to us as we look to grow in holiness.

Our Lady has many things to teach us, but here are three things that come to mind as we meditate on the immaculate conception.
