Conversation of Incarnation

[Patrick B Fox]

It seems to me so often some of the efforts to establish chats on issue so much in need of exploration quickly develop sides and enter to point and counterpoint.  I would like to see this space develop in a forum that places the emphasis on entering  the conversation using not point and counterpoint but adding insights and offering other ways to process the same thought.  So let me begin in the season of Christmas to engage with the concept of Incarnation.  The God of all that is enters into the very creation that God has made and transforms it end result not by any external action but by engaging the very stuff that has been created.  I have always found this abiding mystery among the most amazing acts of the deity.  The result of this act is as a Christmas carol suggest,  One will live forever because of Christmas Day.   It seems that in the Incarnation through the grace of God and the grace of our own acts we are invited to the precipice of deity.  My thought and question becomes how moving forward form this Epiphany do each of us maintain the awareness of the impact of Incarnation in each daily action?

Great topic, Patrick!

I, for one, try to remain cognizant that any software I write or bugs I fix (or introduce) are but feeble, mortal attempts as some kind of functional creation.  I try to defer the heavier lifting and solutioning to The Creator Himself, invoking the name of St. Isidore for partial assists and St. Jude in times of project and billing distress.  We pray to Jesus the Healer for bodily ailments: why not Jesus the Developer for solutions?  After all, isn't the Mystical Body of Christ the largest (and first?) network available to us as a resource?
