Sorry but our Lady was never tempted. My understanding is that the line in the litany of Loreto ‘Mater intemerata/mother inviolate’ means that she was never tempted to sin.
It would seem, rather, that she never succumbed to sin. Our Lord Himself was tempted. That being so, we may reasonably assume that His Mother was likewise tempted.
My understanding is the “mother inviolate” line is in reference to Mary’s perpetual virginity. The adjoining line in the litany (“Mother undefiled”) can refer to virginity as well as having not sinned (soul undefiled by sin). If the “inviolate” line has the same double-meaning (virginity and not sinning), it doesn’t indicate a lack of temptation.
Hi, Sam! I love the picture in this article! It’s very fitting since the statue is Our Lady of Victories, and you talk about the triumph/victory over sin. Do you know any of the details behind this picture?
