It is a sweet and pious belief that the infusion of Mary's soul was effected without original sin; so that in the very infusion of her soul she was also purified from original sin and adorned with God's gifts, receiving a pure soul infused by God; thus from the first moment she began to live she was free from all sin" (Sermon: "On the Day of the Conception of the Mother of God," 1527).
" there is NONE righteous no not ONE" (Romans 3:10)..said while Mary yet lived I believe ..Are you saying that Mary did not need a savior?
