The Immaculate Conception describes the sinless conception of the Blessed Virgin in St. Anne's womb. But if there were nothing more hidden in this mystery, it would be only her unique privilege. It would not affect our lives nor touch our hearts. The Holy Spirit continues to imprint this mystery on our hearts by purifying us of all sin and healing its effects, so that we too may be immaculate like the Virgin. Through these 40 days, we tap into the living reality of this mystery, so that the Holy Spirit may accomplish in us what He first wrought in the Immaculata. She invites us not only to ponder the mystery from the outside, but to enter into it as into a fire. When we allow the fire of the Holy Spirit to touch our hearts, as He filled the Immaculate Heart, then everything in us is transformed into divine life and love. With filial trust, let us ask the Father for this grace to be immaculate like the Blessed Virgin and consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Conception.

Traveling to Hayden's Ridge, she hopes to gain access to one of America's most private colonial homes and its unseen archives, much to the chagrin of the current owner, Samuel Hayden. He agrees to let her catalogue historic documents-nothing more. But when they stumble across a long-forgotten portrait of an eighteenth-century lady who may have had ties to Thomas Jefferson, he finally shares more. As secrets of the Hayden family's past are revealed, the enigma of Samuel's ancestry grows. Their historical journey takes them to old letters, to the Virginia of the distant past-to Monticello-and just when Maddie thinks she has escaped the present into history, she finds the two worlds are deeply entwined. Resolved to unravel the secrets of the house, both Maddie and Samuel may get more than they ever expected-from the past and the present.

In Mark 9 & 10, Jesus explains to his disciples that they must become like little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. How can we grow in childlike trust? We can be generous like the boy in Mark 6, whose food is the means of a miracle. We can be persistent like the mother in Mark 7 and honest about our shortcomings like the father in Mark 9; in both cases, the childlike faith of the parents prompts Jesus to heal their children. Author Sara Beth Meyer and illustrator Allison Hsu, both working mothers, perfect a format and design created in their first book, The Gospel of Matthew for Little Ones. In The Gospel of Mark for Little Ones, readers of all ages are invited to journey with Jesus from the Baptism in the Jordan to the Resurrection on Easter morning.
