  conceived in St. Annes womb without original
  sin.
• This was to prepare the way for her perfect Son
  Jesus Christ. This also makes Mary a New Eve
  and Jesus a New Adam
• Both man and woman preserved from Original sin
  giving mankind another chance to choose obedience
  and love.
• Most people believe the Immaculate Conception is
  when Mary Conceived Jesus through the Holy
  Spirit. But it refers to Mary, not Jesus.

  our infinite act of disobedience. Redemption.

Jesus True God and True Man

• There is a big difference between God and Man.
• God is all powerful, we are weak
• God is eternal, we are limited to time
• God is perfect, we are imperfect
• In order for God to be fully human, He would have
  to humble himself by freely choosing to limit
  himself.
• God freely chose to feel pain for us.
• Read Phillipians 26-11
• God is so much infinitely greater than us, so
  much greater than us than we are to worms.

Jesus One Man with Two Natures

• With a humility beyond our comprehension, Jesus
  who had a Divine Nature, he emptied himself in
  order to take on a human nature as well.
• This did not diminish his Divinity, rather it was
  unchanged by this act of love.
• Jesus lived with the constant choice of
  sacrifice.
• Jesus performed miracles obediently from the
  Fathers Will, and asked the Father for what he
  needed (instead of providing it for himself).

Jesus is Human Divine

• Jesus is like us in all things but sin
• Jesus is sinless because he is God
• God is all Holy
• Jesus did experience temptation but never sinned
• Since Jesus was human and lived perfect holiness,
  he sets the example for us
• We too can live holy lives, we can be saints, we
  just need Gods grace (which we can get through
  the sacraments and prayer) and Gods teachings.

16
The Example of St. Therese

• St. Therese wrote of The Little Way to live a
  holy life.
• Holiness was in doing small things out of love
  for God.
• This way everything we do can become an act of
  prayer and devotion to God.
• Whether we are being patient with chores or
  making small gifts of ourselves.
• This is a path to sainthood that everyone can
  strive to follow.
• We can never have too much confidence in the
  good God. His is so mighty and so merciful. As
  we hope in him so shall we receive.

17
