Episode 11: Celebrating the Incarnation

At Christmas we celebrate not only the birth of the baby Jesus, but also a major supernatural event — the Incarnation. Caught up in celebrating the birth, we sometimes forget to reflect on the Incarnation, on the idea expressed in John 1:14, “And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us…” Ushered in by the Incarnation, divine relationship transforms us. Benedict XVI writes in God is Love: “Seeing with the eyes of Christ, I can give to others much more than their outward necessities; I can give them the look of love which they crave.” Merry Christmas, all.
