The Feast of the Immaculate Conception

The Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians 1: 3-6, 11-12

1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, in Christ,
1:4 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and immaculate in his sight, in charity.
1:5 He has predestined us to adoption as sons, through Jesus Christ, в себе си, according to the purpose of his will,
1:6 for the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has gifted us in his beloved Son.
1:11 В него, ние също сме призовани към своя дял, като е бил предопределен в съответствие с плана на Този, който постига всичко чрез съвета на своята воля.
1:12 Така да бъдем, за хвала на Неговата слава, ние, които отнапред сме се надявали на Христос.
