We celebrated the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary this Wednesday.

It's a big deal — a Holy Day of Obligation — because Mary is our Lord's mother.

And because Mary is the only one of us born without original sin.

Original sin is not the notion that humans are utterly depraved, bad to the core. We're still "very good" and made "in the image of God."
