Paragraph 2. “CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”
507
At
once virgin and mother, Mary is the symbol and the most perfect realization of
the Church: “the Church indeed. . . by receiving the word of God in faith
becomes herself a mother. By preaching and Baptism she brings forth sons, who
are conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of God, to a new and immortal life.
She herself is a virgin, who keeps in its entirety and purity the faith she
pledged to her spouse.”170
