"Bastards" pretty well sums it up: see this post.

Deum nemo vidit umquam; unigenitus Deus, qui est in sinu Patris, ipse enarravit. Quid quaeritis? (Ioannis 1:18,38)

God, You did not destroy man after his fall, but in Your mercy You forgave him, You forgave in a divine way; that is, not only have You absolved him from guilt, but You have bestowed upon him every grace. Mercy has moved You to deign to descend among us and lift us up from our misery. God will descend to earth; the Immortal Lord of lords will abase Himself. But where will You descend, Lord; will it be to the temple of Solomon? Or will You have a new tabernacle built for Yourself? Where do You intend to come down? O Lord, what kind of tabernacle shall we prepare for You, since the whole earth is Your footstool?Posted by verily prosaic at 8:49 AM 0 comments
