In this incarnation, you must see the love for people, the love that God has for them, and therefore you must have it too, to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect... Because this love is active, acting, deep, God overcomes by it, as with a single leap, the distance that separates the finite from the infinite, and uses for our salvation the utmost, unheard-of means – incarnation; He, God and Creator, comes to live on earth as a creature...
(Charles de Foucauld /1858–1916/, Crier l’Évangile)
