WHAT DOES THE COMPENDIUM SAY?
Compendium states:
God freely chose Mary
from all eternity to be the Mother of His Son.
In order to carry out a mission, she herself was conceived
immaculate. This means that, thanks to
the grace of God and in anticipation of the merits of Jesus Christ, Mary was
preserved from original sin on the first instant of the conception.

mother.
