Today is day 54 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the sixth line: “He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of The Virgin Mary” and studying question 54.

54. What happened at Jesus’ conception in Mary’s womb?

The eternal Son, whom God named Jesus, assumed a fully human nature from his mother, the Virgin Mary, at the moment of conception in her womb. (John 1:1–3, 14; 8:56–58; Philippians 2:6–8; Colossians 2:9)

We will conclude today with The Collect for The Annunciation found on page 627 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
