Psalm 98 (97)

Mary’s immaculate conception – being born free from original sin – helped to prepare her as the mother of Christ. Jesus’ birth was central to God’s plan of salvation, so it seems appropriate that today’s psalm is also the one used on Christmas day. Through Jesus’ coming, God has indeed ‘remembered his merciful love’ for us.
