Why is Virgin Mary the Mother of God? by Proclus of Constantinople

Precisely for this reason, the Virgin is Mother of God. Thus, even after giving birth, she remained a virgin. The birth is inexplicable because of the inaccessible mystery, but the Word became visible through the event of his Incarnation. Consider that he remained what he was and became what he was not, passible and impassible together, according to what was seen, remaining consubstantial with the Father according to his divinity and consubstantial with us according to his humanity, except in the matter of sin.

Proclus of Constantinople, Homily 24, 17; in Le Muséon 54 (1941): 42-43.
