Yes. Both Scripture and reason teach us that Mary would not have been
worthy to be the Mother of God if she had ever sinned. First, because the
honor of the parents reflects onto the child (Prov 17:6), and if Mary wasa
sinner, she would have reflected this shame onto Jesus. Second, because
Christ who is the Light can have no association with darkness, for
Scripture reveals, “Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What
accord has Christ with Belial?” (2Cor 6:14-15). Third, because Scripture
says that Christ who is “wisdom will not enter a deceitful soul, nor dwell in
a body enslaved to sin” (Wis 1:4; 1Cor 1:24).Thus, Scripture says of
Mary,
“You are all fair, my love; there is no flaw in you” (Sg4:7).The angel
Gabriel confirms Mary’s sinlessness at the Annunciation. When Gabriel
came to Mary, he called her “full of grace” (Lk 1:28). The Greek word for
“full of grace”
(kecharitomene) means that Mary received a superabundant perfection
of grace, which the Church calls the Immaculate Conception. We know
that God granted others the privilege of being sanctified in their mothers’
wombs. For example, of the prophet Jeremiah, God says, “before you
were born I consecrated you” (Jer 1:5). Of John the Baptist, Scripture
says, “he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb”
(Lk 1:15). If God chose to sanctify these men in the womb to become
prophets of the Messiah, how much more would He free Mary from all sin
from the moment of her conception to be the Mother of the Messiah?
Thus, Job says, “Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? There is
not one” (Job 14:4).
But doesn’t Scripture say “all have sinned”?
In his letter to the Romans, Paul says that “all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God” (3:23). However, this does not mean that Mary wasa
sinner. Why? For a number of reasons. First, “all have sinned” cannot
include Jesus, so if Jesus is an exception then Mary can be as well.
Second, in Romans 5:19, Paul says “many” (not all) were made sinners,
which demonstrates that when Paul says “all,” he really means many.
Third, the Greek word for “all” in Romans 3:23 is the same word that Paul
uses in 1 Corinthians 15:22 when he says, “all have died.” But Scripture
says Enoch and Elijah didn’t die but were translated into heaven, which
means that when Paul says “all” he does not mean every single one.
Fourth, Paul cannot mean every single person born into the world has
sinned because infants, the senile and the mentally handicapped cannot
sin (or at least aren’t culpable for their sin). Fifth and finally, in Romans
3:23, Paul really means that all people are subject to Original Sin. The
difference between us and Mary is that God chose to free Mary from
Original Sin at the moment of her conception, while he frees us from
Original Sin at the moment of our baptism. Mary’s redemption, like ours, is
based entirely upon the merits of Jesus Christ, which God applied in
advance to Mary, just as He did with the Old
Testament saints.
