Preface of the Immaculate Conception You allowed no stain of Adam's sinto touch the Virgin Mary. Full of grace, she was to be a worthy mother of your Son your sign of favour to the Church at its beginning, and the promise of its perfection as the bride of Christ, radiant in beauty. Purest of virgins, she was to bring forth your Son, the innocent lamb who takes away our sins. You chose her from all women to be our advocate with you and our pattern of holiness.
