This is the mystery of the incarnation: that Christ was both fully God and fully human, and his birth sums up what we must do. He came into the world invisable to the human eye, beneath the radar of the authorities, undetected by those blinded by power. And now we like Mary need to become wombs of the divine, allowing God to fertilize our creativity and give birth to newness. Brewin, K. "The complex Christ" Page 47.

The body tells a spiritual story. The body is not just a body. It's an expression of the spirit of the human person and the real spiritual life is an enfleshed life. That's why I believe in the incarnation. There is no divine life outside the body because God decided to dress himself in a body, to become body.
