“ALL men were to contract the sin of Adam; the sentence was universal; but God’s own mother is not included. God who is the author of that law, God who was free to make it as He willed, had power to exclude from it her whom He had predestined to be His own in so many ways; He could exempt her, and it was just that He should exempt her; therefore, He did it.”

— Dom Prosper Guéranger, “The Immaculate Conception,” The Liturgical Year
