Quotes About Conception

Mary, too, has an angel come and promise her a miraculous conception (cf. also 3:23). Gabriel addresses her as "highly favored" (Gk. kecharit?men?, lit. "having been given grace" or "having been treated graciously" in v. 28). The later Latin mistranslation of this verb by the expression "full of grace" (gratia plena) led to the traditional Roman Catholic conception of Mary as somehow uniquely meritorious or deserving of this honor.
