Why did Mary remain a virgin after the birth of Jesus?



Why did the Virgin Mary remain a virgin even after the birth of Jesus?

It is an interesting question, and it can be answered on both a divine and a human level.

In this video, Jimmy Akin explores both aspects of the question, showing why, on a human level, Mary would have chosen to remain a virgin and why, on a divine level, God would find it fitting to have his Son born of a woman who remained a virgin for her whole life.

In the process, Jimmy quotes from from a little-known document from the A.D. 100s that sheds some light on the question.

Gunáh ke har dágh se barí ho kar hastí men áí
Táki tere Beṭe ke liye ek láiq maskan ho
Ham tujh se minnat karte hain
Bakhsh de ki ham us kí mádar-ána sifárishon kí ba-daulat
Pák ho kar tere pás á saken.
Masíh hamáre Khudáwand ke wasíle se jo tere sáth

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church

The Immaculate Conception
490 To become the mother of the Saviour, Mary "was enriched by God with gifts appropriate to such a role." The angel Gabriel at the moment of the annunciation salutes her as "full of grace". In fact, in order for Mary to be able to give the free assent of her faith to the announcement of her vocation, it was necessary that she be wholly borne by God's grace.

491 Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Pope Pius IX proclaimed in 1854:

The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.

492 The "splendour of an entirely unique holiness" by which Mary is "enriched from the first instant of her conception" comes wholly from Christ: she is "redeemed, in a more exalted fashion, by reason of the merits of her Son". The Father blessed Mary more than any other created person "in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places" and chose her "in Christ before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before him in love".

493 The Fathers of the Eastern tradition call the Mother of God "the All-Holy" (Panagia), and celebrate her as "free from any stain of sin, as though fashioned by the Holy Spirit and formed as a new creature". By the grace of God Mary remained free of every personal sin her whole life long.

The Holy Mother Of God


Mary is truly the Mother of God. (De fide.)
In the Apostles’ Creed the Church professes her belief in the Son of God, “born of the Virgin Mary.” As the Mother of the Son of God, Mary is the Mother of God. The Council of Ephesus (431) with St. Cyril of Alexandria declared against Nestorius: “If any one does not confess that the Emmanuel (Christ) in truth is God and that on this account the Holy Virgin is the Mother of God (θεοτόκος)—since according to the flesh she brought forth the Word of God made flesh—let him be anathema.”  D H. Denzinger  113. The subsequent General Councils repeated and confirmed this doctrine. Cf. D H. Denzinger 148, 218, 290.
The dogma of Mary’s motherhood of God contains two truths—
a) Mary is truly a mother, that is, she contributed everything to the formation of the human nature of Christ, that every other mother contributes to the formation of the fruit of her body;
b) Mary is truly the Mother of God, that is, she conceived and bore the Second Person of the Divinity, not indeed according to the Divine Nature, but according to the assumed human nature.[1]

Hail Mary (Firishte Ká Salám)

The three parts of prayer:


The first part is the greeting of Angel Gabriel to Mary: “Hail (Mary), full of grace, the Lord is with you!” Luke 1:28

The second part is the greeting of St. Elizabeth: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb (Jesus)” Luke 1:42

The third part: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen." In Luke 1: 43 St. Elizabeth marvels “And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” and also have a look at (Catechism of the Catholic Church CCC 449, 495 and 2677).
