What can we say in the awesome experience of the Incarnation of God?

For this week, let's reflect on the words of three Wise Persons:

From the 2^nd Century:

“The Son of God became a human being so that humans might become sons and daughters of God.”

--St. Ireneaus

From the 20^th Century:

"We are all called to be contemplatives in the heart of the world -- by seeking the face of God in everything, everyone, everywhere, all the time, and [God's] hand in every happening; seeing and adoring the presence of Jesus, especially in the lowly appearance of bread, and in the distressing disguise of the poor."

--Mother Teresa

From the 21^st Century:

The Word did not become a philosophy, a theory, or a concept to be discussed, debated, or pondered.  The Word became a Person to be followed, to be enjoyed, and to be loved.

--Roy Lessin
