Since it is in our humanity, in our flesh and blood, that he has risen, been glorified and taken up into the glory of his Father, that fundamental doctrine of Christianity proclaims from the start, that eternal glory is even now a possibility in the history of this world, this humanity and this flesh; already a possibility because in the flesh of Christ, which is a part of this world, it is already a reality.
--Karl Rahner, Mary, Mother of God
