"In the time of Christ, multitudes shared the same fate, whereas today we do not share ours, but each suffer it on our own. It is one of the most dramatic visible symptoms of our time. A kind of prophet who must speak to the multitudes speaks on television, through the television image, finding each person closed in their own cell. What would “incarnation” be like today? Incarnation was like that because man was visible and bound to a community that shared his sufferings; man was limited in his physicality, in his body, which was so important and valued in the Eucharist. And where would the divine be incarnated today? Perhaps on the “Internet”. :*Mario Luzi, La porta del cielo. , a cura di Stefano Verdino, Fabbri Editori, R.C.S., I Classici dello Spirito, Milano, 1998, p. 48."
