Mary knew the child in her womb was miraculous. Mary, aware that she didn't
know man, but understood what the angel had told her. And the Holy Spirit
instilled in her a vast amount of knowledge that was needed to cope with
such a historical event. The thousands of years of waiting was going to
end with the birth of God's Son. Upon entering the house of Elizabeth, she
knew exactly that she was to be the Mother of God with her announcement.
"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold,
you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his
name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High .
The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will
overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy,
the Son of God." Lk. 1:30-33, 35.
