God's Incarnations

Christ buried in the God of Trinity,
the Three together doing Their Creation--
a mix of matter-spirit mystery--
though Christ alone becomes The Incarnation.

Christ is both physical and spiritual,
then God made us both soul and body too,
we are an incarnation miracle,
the human-supernatural through and through.*

Christ’s Church shows incarnation every way,
the Sacraments with visible signs of grace,
each statue, picture, station helps us pray,
the Eucharist that hides His Holy Face.

Blest water and cross, Christ’s power in disguise,
cast out the demons right before our eyes.

* The great priest-paleontologist Tielhard de Chardin
said, “We are not humans with a spiritual side,
we are spiritual beings with a human side.”
