One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. provides children with an explanation of Mary's role in salvation history. The Immaculate Conception refers to the Catholic belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was conceived without original sin. From the very moment of her existence, Mary was preserved by God's grace from the stain of sin, making her a pure and holy vessel for Jesus, the Son of God. This doctrine, formally declared by Pope Pius IX in 1854, highlights God's special plan for Mary in salvation history. Her purity and unique role affirm that God prepared Mary to bring Jesus into the world, establishing her as a model of holiness and obedience.

Teaching children about the Immaculate Conception provides them with a powerful example of God's love and grace at work in the world. Mary's life shows that God has a purpose for everyone, even from the very beginning. In a world where children are often surrounded by messages that undermine faith, the Immaculate Conception is a beautiful reminder of God's divine plans and our call to live lives of virtue. Mary's willingness to embrace her role with humility and trust in God also offers children a model of faith, encouraging them to say "yes" to God's will in their own lives, just as she did.
