Paragraph 2. “CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”
499
The deepening of faith in the virginal motherhood led the Church to confess
Mary’s real and perpetual virginity even in the act of giving birth to the Son
of God made man.154 In fact, Christ’s birth “did not diminish his
mother’s virginal integrity but sanctified it.”155 and so the
liturgy of the Church celebrates Mary as Aeiparthenos, the
“Ever-virgin”.156
