Summary/Abstract: Marian dogmas are often being criticised. In case of the Immaculate Conception the following question is asked: how had been the redemption possible before Christ redeemed people? It is worthwhile to meditate the contents hidden in this Marian dogma, for the Mother of God’s unique vocation gives light to all the people’s vocation. The Immaculate Conception reveals the following truths: relation between the eternal will of God (predestination) and the will of man (freedom); relation between the divine grace and human cooperation; connection between temporality and eternity.
