“He by Whom man was made had nothing to gain by becoming Man; it was our gain that God was incarnate and dwelt among us, making all flesh His home by taking upon Him the flesh of One. We were raised because He was lowered; shame to Him was glory to us. He, being God, made flesh His residence, and we in return are lifted anew from the flesh to God.” (St. Hilary of Poitiers) How gracious and merciful is our God towards us. He gave himself fully to us and for us so that we can be fully his and with him for eternity. He gave all so that we may have all.
