The Immaculate Conception of Mary, Mother of God & The New Eve

Because into a soul that pilots evil, wisdom enters not,nor dwells she in a body under debt of sin. - Wisdom 1:4

Mary, who bore the Son of God, could not have had sin. The Holy Trinity is wisdom - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Thus, as the second person in the Holy Trinity, Jesus could not have been born of a sinful woman.

We call Mary the "New Eve" because she was sinless. She gave birth to the "New Adam" (1 Cor. 15:45), our Lord Jesus Christ.
