Catechism Paragraph

¶ 492

The "splendour of an entirely Unique Holiness" by which Mary is "enriched from the first instant of her conception" Comes wholly from Christ: she is "redeemed, in a more exalted fashion, by Reason of the merits of her Son". 136 The Father Blessed Mary more than any other Created person "in Christ with every spiritual Blessing in the heavenly places" and chose her "in Christ before the Foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before him in Love". 137
