Okay, call me dense, but I don't see anything there that says exactly how Jesus was born. I do see that Our Lady remained completely virgin, but I already knew that. I'm saying it's God we're talking about. Our Lady could have given birth the traditional way and remained completely a virgin.
That which can function as a receptacle also functions as a conduit. Acting as a receptacle ends virginity, acting as a conduit does not.

It's the part I boldfaced: But as the Conception [of Jesus] itself transcends the order of nature, so also the birth of our Lord presents to our contemplation nothing but what is divine.
