The Immaculate Conception: Towards Meditation III

Mystical Rose, Vessel of Honour, pray for us.

Only your Immaculate Conception made your womb a fit vessel to hold the honour of Christ. No one conceived in original sin could come as close to Him as you did. He could not have taken His flesh from imperfect flesh; you are therefore the most perfect human in His creation. There is no other like you.

Mystical Rose, House of Gold, pray for us.

By your Immaculate Conception you were fitted to shelter the King of kings in your womb, in your arms, and in the earthly home you provided for Him. You were the treasure house of God, and as such, made of the richest material in creation. We must be tested in the refiner's fire and be beaten into gold; you were gold before time began.
