God-Love creating His creature in order to see Himself again in her; sin, which is nothing else but the soul’s turning away from its end, God, in order to look at herself outside of God! Having fallen into this bottomless depth, the creature could no longer by her own power, go back up to God. Then the Word said: “I will bridge the distance. She shall no longer come to Us, I will go to her”. And love returned to mankind through the Incarnation.

Man makes himself the goal of his own life, his idol; he makes himself the essence of his life and divine Wisdom saw from all eternity that the Incarnation of the divinity would be the remedy for so many evils: the divine Essence was first united to humanity in Jesus and then through Him to Mary, and finally to all of us.

Finally, God’s Essence seemed to inundate me, and I cannot tell you how I felt the breath of the Incarnation passing over me. It was Love desiring to become incarnate in my look, in my words, in my actions, in my whole being. Yes, God wishes to breathe forth through us! If only we would allow Him to do as He wishes! In this single grace, there would be immeasurable depth of holiness. Love becomes incarnate through submission, which is union with love causing whatever within to be no longer us, but to be all love.

He (Jesus) was love, became incarnate through love, in order to make us to be born again in love.

A beautiful light on the Incarnate Word, who emptied Himself in order to abase Himself even to our level. We too must become truly selfless, so that He can raise us even to Himself incarnate through love, in order to make us to be born again in love.

I see the Incarnation, as the model and the source of the humility resulting from the unitive life.
