Romans 9:6-18
Through the Immaculate Conception, Mary had no trace of sin in her soul. All of her works and actions were untainted by the self-love or other sinful affections that affect us. She did not withhold the smallest fiber of her being from God’s most holy Will. None of us are able to merit the smallest of graces. That is why it is just for God to lavish something as grand as the Immaculate Conception to Mary without any work on her part. As God hates the smallest of transgressions it would not make sense for Jesus to be born from a person stained with sin. Sin is in its essence a refusal of God for a base pleasure that is of small worth. The only Person higher than Mary is God Himself. The angels only had to refuse one temptation of the devil to enter paradise while Mary had to endure the sinfulness of her fellow Israelites and maintain the humble and dispositions of the soul to properly interact with them. Mary supported the Christ from his conception to the foot of the cross with John and the Magdalene, unlike some of Jesus’s other disciples.
