This week President Donald Trump marked the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, hailing the celebration as a moment for Americans to reflect on the “faith, humility, and love of Mary, mother of Jesus and one of the greatest figures in the Bible.”
Drawing directly from Scripture, he stated in his message how Mary “first entered recorded history as a young woman when, according to Holy Scripture, the Angel Gabriel greeted her in the village of Nazareth with news of a miracle: ‘Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you,’ announcing that ‘you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.’”
