A Christmas meditation from Athanasius, one of the great heroes of the faith in our early years:
The incorporeal and incorruptible and immaterial God entered our world. In one sense, indeed, He was not far from it before, for no part of creation had ever been without Him Who, while ever abiding in union with the Father, yet fills all things that are. But now He entered the world in a new way, stooping to our level in His love and Self-revealing to us.
Athanasius, On the Incarnation, 8
Merry Christmas!
