– Virgin after childbirth:
Lk 1:34 : Mary asked the angel: “How can this be done, since I do not know a man?”.
– It is concluded that Mary had the firm intention of “not knowing man”; she accepts the mission of being the mother of the Messiah, after the angel has assured that everything will be done “by the work of the Holy Spirit”.
