The holy Spirit will come over you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason your child will be called holy, and the Son of God.

A forgotten truth: Mary is an opportunity for encountering Christ.
Our forefathers seemed to have understood this well and to have expressed it in allusions of rare charm. This is surely what they sought to say when they spoke of Mary as "House of Gold", "Ark of the Covenant", "Gateway of the Great King". They conceived of Mary as the precious container that drew its meaning and beauty form the precious One contained, Christ.
Mary is a "place" for meeting Christ.
