Paragraph 2. “CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”
495
Called in the Gospels “the mother of Jesus”, Mary is acclaimed by
Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit and even before the birth of her son,
as “the mother of my Lord”.144 In fact, the One whom she
conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the
flesh, was none other than the Father’s eternal Son, the second person of the
Holy Trinity. Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly “Mother of
God” (Theotokos).145
