    Fully Human

    In this episode, Micole and Mairead discuss the Incarnation and explore what Jesus' humanity teaches us about our own. Have you ever thought about what it was like for Mary and Joseph teaching Jesus how to do ordinary human things, like any child had to learn? Or that Jesus, having a human body, likely had a stomach ache or a headache or any number of ordinary ailments? We talk about what a difference this makes in the Faith and in our experience, especially when we are suffering. “The Incarnation is the only story that touches every pain, every lost hope, every ounce of our guilt, every joy that ever matters. Where other creeds fail, Christmas, in essence, is about coming poor and weary, guilty and famished to the very scene in history where God reached down and touched the world by stepping into it... The great hope of the Incarnation is that God comes for us. God is aware and Christ is present, having come in flesh, and it changes everything.” Jill Caratinni  Interested in joining The Face of Mercy prayer team? Sign up here!
