God
is revealed as perfect interior holiness.
Isaiah 6:3
"Holy, holy,
holy is the Lord of hosts!" they (the Seraphim)
cried one to the other.
The basis for the belief in the Immaculate
Conception of Mary
can be found in the Biblical revelation of holiness
and the
opposite of that state, sinfulness.
No
sin or anything tainted with sin can stand in the face
of the holiness of God.
"Enmity" is that mutual
hatred between
Mary and sin, between Christ and
sin.
Genesis 3:15
I will put enmity between you (the serpent, Satan) and
the woman (Mary), and between your
offspring (minions
of Satan) and hers (Jesus); He will
strike at your head,
while you strike at his heel.
