Caro Cardo Salutis.
My priest friend Father Bernie recently sent me this quote of Tertullian, a second century Christian articulating the incarnation. (166-225 A.D)
Translation: The flesh ( of Christ) is the hinge of salvation.
In other words, if the Son of God would not have taken upon himself our human nature, we would not be saved. Father Bernie says "That's a lot of theology crammed into three little words! "
Amen brother!
What a great simple meditation as we approach Christmas day!
