To make her a more fitting mother for the Son of God, Mary was conceived without original sin. This means God gave her a special gift of grace early—for he will one day free each of his children from every stain of sin, by the same saving work of Christ.

Mary’s Immaculate Conception

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.

And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!”
