MARY IMMACULATE
HER GREATNESS
HER GREATNESS
2. Daughter of God the Father.
She is the predilected Daughter of God. Predestined thereby to a greatness the like of which was not to be found except in God Himself. God wanted Her to be as closely united to divinity as possible so that She (without being God, of course, since this is absurd), should be as close to Him as possible.
Then, if God and sin are the most opposed ideas, how could Mary, who is so close to God, harbor at the same time in Her heart any stain of sin? There you have an absurdity that we refuse to admit and which shows to us the necessity of Her Immaculate Conception.
