Paragraph 2. “CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”
505
By his
virginal conception, Jesus, the New Adam, ushers in the new birth of children
adopted in the Holy Spirit through faith. “How can this be?”165
Participation in the divine life arises “not of blood nor of the will of
the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God”.166 The acceptance
of this life is virginal because it is entirely the Spirit’s gift to man. the
spousal character of the human vocation in relation to God167 is
fulfilled perfectly in Mary’s virginal motherhood.
