I found your blog through CTA’s Young Adult Catholic Blog & love it. I cannot remember who said that Catholics tend to fall into the groups of Lent/Easter Christians vs. Advent/Christmas Christians, but I found it an appropriate metaphor & have struggled with my firm place in the Easter Christian group. Your approach to the Incarnation is profoundly helpful for me and I hope that it will ultimately contribute to a greater spiritual affinity for Christmas. Wonderful!

And you are right to suggest, I think, that Christ is continuing to become incarnate, assuming the flesh of our daily lives. In fact.... it reminds me of a yaya quote... "If we hide in the details of our lives, well then, maybe so does God." Love, Maggi Jess,
