This Law Wasn't Meant for You

Just like King Assuerus said to Esther: "This law meant for all wasn't meant for you," the Holy Spirit reveals to us that, from the very first instant of her earthly existence Mary was the object of God's most amazing delights. She is immaculate, wholly immaculate! "Tota pulchra es Maria et macula originalis non est in te." The shadows of sin have never approached you, O most pure Virgin, lily bright with light and beauty. Certainly, Mary belongs to the race of the redeemed and everything in her is the fruit of the Redemption. Like us, she is still the child of Calvary of the saving Blood, but in an order of redemption so exceptional and so sublime that her immaculate soul remains the masterpiece of God, the edifice of grace, the great and mighty wonder of the love whose foundation were thrown by the divine hand of the Most High "up to the summits of the holy mountains." The first plenitude of grace is superior and places her without comparison above the grace consumed by all the saints in heaven and all the saints to come.
