In this sermon, Fr. Wathen explains the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception and also discusses what virtues we can learn from the Blessed Virgin Mary. <br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br /><br />Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation. <br /><br />St. John the Evangelist and Apostle, pray for us. <br /><br />Fr. James Wathen (1932-2006)<br /><br />May the angels lead thee into Paradise; may the martyrs receive thee at thy coming, and bring thee into the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choir of angels receive thee, and with Lazarus, who once was poor, mayest thou have eternal rest.<br /><br />Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. (Please pray for the repose of his soul)
