 Why is the Blessed Virgin Mary the Mother of God?  What is the Immaculate Conception?

 In the generation of a new human person, parents give their child a body, and God directly infuses the child’s soul. Nevertheless, the parents are the parents of the entire child.  The Blessed Virgin Mary is the origin of the human body of Christ, thus she is the Mother of the whole person of Christ, who is the divine Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, possessing two natures: human and divine.

 The Most Blessed Virgin Mary, at the very instant of her conception, by a unique grace and privilege of the omnipotent God, and in consideration of the merits of Christ Jesus, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin. This is the dogma of the Immaculate Conception.  Video: What is the Immaculate Conception? Video: What is the Immaculate Conception?
