Paragraph 2. “CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”
497
The Gospel accounts understand the virginal conception of Jesus as a divine
work that surpasses all human understanding and possibility:148
“That which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit”, said the
angel to Joseph about Mary his fiancee.149 The Church sees here the
fulfilment of the divine promise given through the prophet Isaiah:
“Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son.”150
