This feast of the Immaculate Conception is to celebrate the conception of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
My favorite version of Ave Maria is from Andrea Bocelli. He uploaded this two days ago and it is just as heart moving as ever.
Ave maria
Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave ave dominus
Dominus tecum
In mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus
Fructus ventris
Ventris tui jésus
Ave maria
Ave maria
Mater dei
Ora ora pronobis
Peccatoribus
Ora ora pronobis
Ora ora pronobis
Peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis
In hora mortis nostrae
In hora mortis mortis mortis nostrae
In hora mortis nostrae
Ave maria
Ave…
For those who want to celebrate in a little more country style festivity here is Bruce Cockburn with "Mary Had a Baby". These songs may seem to contrast in style and theology but the point is grace and joy. They are songs to celebrate the wonderful miracle of love and life and holiness that changed history.
