So soon as the Blessed Virgin Mary expressed her assent to the angel's words by saying Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to you word, then immediately, that is in the very first instant, the most holy Body of Christ was, by the power of the Holy Spirit, formed of the most pure womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a human soul created out of nothing was joined to that body, and the Godhead joined to the body and the soul. Whence it came to pass that in the same instant of time there existed perfect God and perfect Man, so that the Blessed Virgin Mary could be truly and rightly called Mother of God and of man, for in that same instant she conceived a man who was God.

This statement could just as easily fit into the Pro-Life forum.

I was thinking about this during Mass yesterday , and it is mind boggling.

Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.. The angel awaits the reply and we also, O Lady, on whom the sentence of condemnation weighs so heavily, await the word of mercy. Behold, the price of our salvation is offered you; we shall be instantly delivered if you consent For the Lord Himself desires your consent, by which He has determined to save the world.

St. Thomas Aquinas calls the mystery of the Incarnation of the Eternal Word "the miracle of miracles". What greater prodigy could the world behold, than a woman become the Mother of God, and a God clothed in human flesh? Mary, by her humility, became the Mother of her Creator. The Creator, in His goodness, became the Son of His own creature.
