Pasal 2. “ .... DIKANDUNG DARI ROH KUDUS, DILAHIRKAN OLEH PERAWAN MARIA”
I. Dikandung dari Roh Kudus...
484. Pewartaan kepada Maria membuka "kegenapan waktu" (Gal 4:4): Janji-janji terpenuhi, persiapan sudah selesai. Maria dipanggil supaya mengandung Dia, yang di dalam-Nyaakan tinggal "seluruh kepenuhan ke-Allah-an secara jasmaniah" (Kol 2:9). Jawaban ilahi atas pertanyaan Maria: "Bagaimana mungkin hal itu terjadi karena aku belum bersuami?" (Luk 1:34) menunjukkan kekuasaan Roh: "Roh Kudus akan turun atasmu" (Luk 1:35).
485. Perutusan Roh Kudus selalu berhubungan dengan perutusan Putera dan diarahkan kepada-Nya.1 Roh Kudus diutus supaya menguduskan rahim perawan dan membuahinya secara ilahi; Ia, "yang adalah Tuhan dan menghidupkan", menyebabkan bahwa perawan mengandung Putera abadi Bapa, yang menerima kodrat manusiawi dari dia.
486. Putera tunggal Bapa, yang dikandung oleh Perawan Maria sebagai manusia, adalah "Kristus", artinya diurapi Roh Kudus,2 sejak awal keberadaan manusiawi-Nya juga apabila itu baru dinyatakan selangkah demi selangkah: mula-mula kepada para gembala,3 lalu kepada para ahli nujum,4 Yohanes Pembaptis5 dan para murid.6 Seluruh kehidupan Yesus akan menyatakan bahwa "Allah mengurapi-Nya dengan Roh Kudus dan kuat kuasa" (Kis 10:38).
II. ... dilahirkan oleh Perawan Maria
487. Apa yang Gereja Katolik percaya dan ajarkan tentang Maria, berakar dalam iman akan Kristus, tetapi sekaligus juga menjelaskan iman akan Kristus.
Pilihan Maria sejak kekal
488. "Tuhan telah mengutus Putera-Nya" (Gal 4:4). Tetapi supaya menyediakan "tubuh bagi-Nya" (Ibr 10:5), menurut kehendak-Nya haruslah satu makhluk bekerja sama dalam kebebasan. Untuk tugas menjadi ibu Putera-Nya, Allah telah memilih sejak kekal seorang puteri Israel, seorang puteri Yahudi dari Nasaret di Galilea, seorang perawan, yang "bertunangan dengan seorang bernama Yusuf dari keluarga Daud: nama perawan itu Maria" (Luk 1:26-27).
"Adapun Bapa yang penuh belas kasihan menghendaki, supaya penjelmaan Sabda didahului oleh persetujuan dari pihak dia, yang telah ditetapkan menjadi Bunda-Nya. Dengan demikian, seperti dulu wanita mendatangkan maut, sekarang pun wanitalah yang mendatangkan kehidupan" (LG 56).7
489. Sepanjang Perjanjian Lama panggilan Maria sudah dipersiapkan oleh perutusan wanita-wanita saleh. Kendati ketidak-taatannya, sejak awal sudah dijanjikan kepada Hawa bahwa ia akan mendapat turunan, yang akan mengalahkan yang jahat,8 dan akan menjadi ibu semua orang hidup.9 Berdasarkan janji ini, Sara mendapat seorang putera kendati usianya sudah lanjut.10 Bertentangan dengan harapan manusiawi, Allah memilih apayang bodoh dan lemah bagi dunia,1 supaya menunjukkan bahwa Ia setia pada janji-Nya: Hanna, ibu Samuel,2 Debora, Rut, Yudit, dan Ester, demikian pula banyak wanita yang lain lagi. Maria adalah "yang unggul di tengah Umat Tuhan yang rendah dan miskin, yang penuh kepercayaan mendambakan serta menerima keselamatan dari-Nya. Akhirnya ketika muncullah ia, Puteri Sion yang amat mulia, sesudah pemenuhan janji lama dinanti-nantikan, genaplah masanya" (LG 55).

Paragraph2:"Conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary" (484 - 511)
I. CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT...
484 The Annunciation to Mary inaugurates "the fullness of time", the time of the fulfillment of God's promises and preparations. Mary was invited to conceive him in whom the "whole fullness of deity" would dwell "bodily". The divine response to her question, "How can this be, since I know not man?", was given by the power of the Spirit: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you."
485 The mission of the Holy Spirit is always conjoined and ordered to that of the Son. The Holy Spirit, "the Lord, the giver of Life", is sent to sanctify the womb of the Virgin Mary and divinely fecundate it, causing her to conceive the eternal Son of the Father in a humanity drawn from her own.
486 The Father's only Son, conceived as man in the womb of the Virgin Mary, is "Christ", that is to say, anointed by the Holy Spirit, from the beginning of his human existence, though the manifestation of this fact takes place only progressively: to the shepherds, to the magi, to John the Baptist, to the disciples. Thus the whole life of Jesus Christ will make manifest "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power."
II. ... BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY
487 What the Catholic faith believes about Mary is based on what it believes about Christ, and what it teaches about Mary illumines in turn its faith in Christ.
Mary's predestination
488 "God sent forth his Son", but to prepare a body for him, he wanted the free co-operation of a creature. For this, from all eternity God chose for the mother of his Son a daughter of Israel, a young Jewish woman of Nazareth in Galilee, "a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary":
The Father of mercies willed that the Incarnation should be preceded by assent on the part of the predestined mother, so that just as a woman had a share in the coming of death, so also should a woman contribute to the coming of life.
489 Throughout the Old Covenant the mission of many holy women prepared for that of Mary. At the very beginning there was Eve; despite her disobedience, she receives the promise of a posterity that will be victorious over the evil one, as well as the promise that she will be the mother of all the living. By virtue of this promise, Sarah conceives a son in spite of her old age. Against all human expectation God chooses those who were considered powerless and weak to show forth his faithfulness to his promises: Hannah, the mother of Samuel; Deborah; Ruth; Judith and Esther; and many other women. Mary "stands out among the poor and humble of the Lord, who confidently hope for and receive salvation from him. After a long period of waiting the times are fulfilled in her, the exalted Daughter of Sion, and the new plan of salvation is established."
