Henry Tanner, 1898.

Zenit published a piece recently about the US Catholic Bishop’s approving a blessing for the newly conceived, to be prayed either at Mass or outside Mass. The next step is approval by the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship & Sacraments. Since conception is the real “birth day” of the person, it’s very appropriate to celebrate conception! The Annunciation is the liturgical solemnity in the Church, so why not make it extra special for the domestic church?
