Reflection Starter from St. Hilary

"He by Whom man was made had nothing to gain by becoming Man; it was our gain that God was incarnate and dwelt among us, making all flesh His home by taking upon Him the flesh of One. We were raised because He was lowered; shame to Him was glory to us. He, being God, made flesh His residence, and we in return are lifted anew from the flesh to God." - Saint Hilary of Poitiers, whose memory the Church celebrates today (13 January)
