The great mystery of the incarnation, which meant God became man that man might become God

We felt a respect for the poor and destitute as those nearest to God, as chosen by Christ for His compassion.  Christ lived among men. The great mystery of the incarnation, which meant God became man that man might become God, was a joy that made us want to kiss the earth in worship, because His feet once trod that same earth.
