Mary was selected by God from before her birth to be the Mother of His Divine Son. Because God did not want His son to be ever under the influence of Satan, He created Mary without sin, that is her soul was never exposed to original sin like the rest of humanity ever since the fall of Adam and Eve.

Wow...that's a whole lot of stuff about something that isn't even in the scripture. Don't you think one of the Apostles would have told us Mary was the only one without need of a Savior if that was the case?

Not necessarily. The New Testament is about Jesus, not Mary. She is mentioned , of course, as are many others, but she was not to be the focus of the Scriptures. Does that make any sense to you? The Scriptures are about God and how He has interacted with man up to a certain point. I don't think every detail is recorded, just what we need to know for our salvation.
