As we celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8th), Fr Javier del Castillo's homily, “Stella Matutina", helps us to reflect on the meaning of this special title of our Lady, "Morning Star", and how Mary “entrusted herself entirely to God, and in this we can hope to imitate her on our way to holiness.”

“Stella Matutina” (Morning Star) is a homily by Fr Javier del Castillo given on the Eve of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception at St. Mary of the Angels Church in Chicago, Illinois (USA) in 2010.
