Our Lady's Immaculate Conception reveals to us Mortals something deep and unfathomable.
Namely that the Queen of Heaven and Earth was born without Original Sin.
You may ask how could this have happened ??
This happened only because of "Supernatural Grace" that Our Lady was endowed with from the time of her birth. God wanted a Pure Tabernacle where His Son Could be born and this Pure Tabernacle was Our Lady.
In 2014, the Church celebrated the 160th anniversary of the proclamation of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception which affirms that Mary was conceived without Original Sin.
For centuries, the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady was defended by Saints, Theologians and Laymen.
However, it took centuries of theological debate to establish a consensus in the Church. Only in 1854, did Pope Pius IX, after consulting with the bishops of the whole world, proclaimed this dogma, thus affirming as revealed truth that Our Lady was preserved from Original Sin from the very moment of her conception.
Many defended this position because they felt that the glory of the Most Holy Trinity would be tarnished if the Mother of the Word Incarnate were not the most perfect of all creatures. It would also be against God’s wisdom and mercy if the Savior’s Mother did not receive the highest gifts of nature and grace.
