Paragraph 2. “CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”
494
At the announcement that she would give birth to “the Son of the Most
High” without knowing man, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Mary responded
with the obedience of faith, certain that “with God nothing will be impossible”:
“Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be [done] to me according
to your word.”139 Thus, giving her consent to God’s word, Mary
becomes the mother of Jesus. Espousing the divine will for salvation
wholeheartedly, without a single sin to restrain her, she gave herself entirely
to the person and to the work of her Son; she did so in order to serve the
mystery of redemption with him and dependent on him, by God’s grace:140
