  1. Christmas At Christmas, the glory of heaven is shown in the weakness of the baby; the Epiphany is the manifestation of the Messiah King of Israel to all nations. The Church calls the mystery of the union of the divine and human natures in the one divine Person of the Word, the “Incarnation”. To bring about our salvation, the Son of God was made “flesh” (John 1:14) and became truly human. Faith in the Incarnation is a distinctive sign of the Christian faith. As the Son of God, who is “begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father”, he was made truly human, our brother, without ceasing to be God, our Lord.
