How do we reconcile Jesus as the "Son of David"?

[CarryYourCross]

Please enlighten me around the whole concept of Jesus as the Son of David. I know that the Messiah was prophesied to come from the lineage of David, and that indeed Joseph is descended from David. But how does the Catholic Church reconcile Jesus as the Son of David given he was immaculately conceived in Mary? I struggle with this each time I come across old and new testament scripture with these references.

Thank you,
