God takes on flesh

God takes on flesh

"God takes on flesh so that every home becomes a church, every child becomes the Christ-child, and all food and drink become a sacrament.  God's many faces are now everywhere, in flesh, tempered and turned down, so that our human eyes can see him.  God, in his many-faced face, has become as accessible, and visible, as the nearest water tap.  That is the why of the incarnation."
