"The incarnation of God is the certainty that our flesh is holy in some of its roots, that our history is sacred in some of its pages. And looking at our brother, no one can say anymore: here God ends, here man begins, because Creator and creature are embraced. Finite and infinite are within us in a prodigious mixture of intensity of plans, of vigour of transformation. God became man so that man might become God."
