The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Towards Meditation II

"Mystical Rose, Mirror of Justice, pray for us.

By your being conceived immaculate, we see the distant hope of God's justice. You reflect the justice of Christ's twofold exhortation, 'Love God and your neighbour as yourslef; you are God's example to us of unblemished human obedience to Him, and of serene acceptance of His will. You are the perfect lens He chose through which to shed His light upon us.

Mystical Rose, Gate of Heaven, pray for us.

From your Immaculate Conception came your perfect obedience and faith; you agreed to God's plan to raise fallen humankind and became the means by which He passed through Heaven's gate to earth, and also the instrument through which He would throw open that gate to us. By co-operating in His Incarnation, you heralded a new heaven and a new earth in which this became possible for all generations."
