Today reflect on the great love of God, God so loved you He sent His Son to save you.

“Why did God become man?” 

The Word became flesh to make us ‘partakers of the divine nature’ [2 Pt 1:4]: ‘For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God [St. Irenaeus].

‘For the Son of God became man so that might become God’  [St. Athanasius].

“The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.”

[St. Thomas Aquinas] (From Broken Gods by Gregory Popcak, p.5)

Take a break from your I-phone today and spend a few minutes, in silence, with God.

May God Be Praised!
