“No person can love anything unless he can get his arms around it.  But once God became a babe and was wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger, men could say, ‘this is Emmanuel, this is God with us.’  By his reaching down to frail human nature and lifting it up to the incomparable prerogative of union with himself, human nature became dignified.  So real was this union that all of his acts and words, all of his agonies and tears, all of his thoughts and reasonings, resolves and emotions, while being properly human, were at the same time the acts and words, agonies and tears, thoughts and reasons, resolves and emotions, of the Eternal Son of God.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Life of Christ)
