On the Incarnation


He climbed down every step of the ladder that separated him from us,to the extent of becoming a man, a child...So clearly visible is He in the child,with his way of loving and his kind of omnipotence.Those who begin to understand fall to their kneesand are filled with that great joy announced by the angel on the holy night.

Vultus Christi
Joseph Ratzinger - Pope Benedict XVI
