We Are Not An Accident

Today the Catholic Church celebrates the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, Mother of God. The dogma states that Mary was conceived without original sin. She was destined to be the bearer of the savior of the world.

One of the messages of today’s solemnity is that like Mary, whom was prophesied long before she was born in the book of Genesis, we too were created for a purpose. God has a plan for us even before we were born. Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” There is meaning to our existence. We are not just a product of a big bang theory and we are not an accident either. We are planned ahead and destined for greatness!

The implication of being created for a purpose is to live a life of purpose. We do it by being Christian every minute of the day.
