Incarnation and Divinization


Feast of the Annunciation

From Fr. Adam Purdy in a letter to SSPX Tertiaries in the United States:

I hope this feast day is blessed for you. We celebrate the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. God became man in order that man become God. Oh admirable exchange! In bearing Christ within us - we are divinized. All Christians accept the divinity of Christ; only Catholics embrace this "divinization." Christ's role was not simply to be an inspiration and provide longing to Christians; it was not be a wise teacher of the ways of God, or a model of Christian life; it is to put the real presence of God within our soul.
