God, who willed that your true Word
take up human flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary,
grant, we ask, that we who confess our Redeemer
as both God and man might also be sharers in his divine nature.
(my translation)
The good news of the human conception of the Word of God is that, through his unity with our human nature, we might, in turn, enter in the inner life of the Blessed Trinity. It's the well-worn Patristic dictum that God became a human being that human beings might become divine.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.
I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.
If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
