“Mary must have been conceived immaculate.”

How was Mary conceived immaculate? We her parents without sin?

This is a sincere question as I don’t understand it.

[Natural Law]

"From the beginning of Time God knew that Mary would be the vessel from which to bring forth His Son. She was greater than Eve who was born immacualte. How this was done is one of the mysteries I haven't yet figured out. From thr Catechism:

491 - Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Pope Pius IX proclaimed in 1854: The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.
