The short and true answer is that Mary was selected to be the mother of God before she was born. Her mother St. Anne was blessed by the Holy Spirit in order than the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary be immaculate. Hence the immaculate conception.
Unfortunately many Catholics believe that the immaculate conception has to do with the birth of Jesus Christ.
