Awake mankind! For your sake God has become man….. I tell you again for your sake , God became man. -St. Augustine

[davebinggeli]

Let us become like Christ, since Christ became like us. Let us become divine for his sake, since he for ours became man. He assumed the worst that he might give us the better; he became poor that we through his poverty might be rich; he took upon himself the form of a servant that we might receive back our liberty; he came down that we might be exalted; he was tempted that we might conquer; he was dishonoured that he might glorify us; he ascended that he might draw us to himself, who were lying low in the fall of sin. Let us give all, offer all, to him who gave himself a ransom and reconciliation for us. who were lying low in the fall of sin. Let us give all, offer all, to Him who gave himself a ransom and reconciliation for us.

Gregory Naz., Or., 1.5.

Our Lord was born...

"And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn." Luke 2:7
