How did Jesus Christ come into the world?
Jesus Christ came into the world by being born of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the all-powerful and supernatural action of the Holy Ghost.
Was our Blessed Lady prepared in any special manner that she might become the Mother of our Lord?
Yes, she was immaculately conceived (XXVII.).
What is understood by the Immaculate Conception?
By this is understood that unique privilege bestowed upon our Blessed Lady whereby God, in view of and owing to the foreseen merits of Jesus Christ, preserved her from all stain of original sin, which she would otherwise have contracted as a descendant of Adam; and that from the first instant of creation our Lady's soul was adorned with the supernatural gifts of grace in their fulness (Pius IX., Definition of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception).
