We are told that Mary pondered the word of
God until she became pregnant with it.
What an extraordinary notion!
This doesn’t just mean that Christ had no human father and that,
physically, Mary got pregnant from the Holy Spirit; it also means that Mary so
immersed herself in the Holy Spirit (in charity, joy, peace, patience,
goodness, long-suffering faith, mildness, fidelity, and chastity) that she
became pregnant with them, their seed took root in her.
