DISCOURSES ON THE SEVEN PRINCIPAL FEASTS OF MARY AND HER DOLORS.
DISCOURSE I.
ON THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF MARY.
How befitting it was to all Three of the Divine Persons that Mary should be preserved from original sin.
The ruin was great which accursed sin brought upon Adam and the whole human race; for when he unhappily lost grace, he at the same time lost the other blessings with which, in the beginning, he was enriched, and drew upon himself, and upon all his descendants, both the displeasure of God, and all other evils.
But God ordained that the blessed Virgin should be exempt from this common calamity, for he had destined her to be the mother of the second Adam, Jesus Christ, who was to repair the injury done by the first.
Now, let us see how befitting it was that the Three Divine Persons should preserve this Virgin from original sin. We shall see that it was befitting the Father to preserve her from it as his daughter, the Son as his mother, the Holy Spirit as his spouse.
