The Incarnation in the Virgin’s Womb

Concerning the Incarnation, I believe that God the Word, the only Son of the Father, who was born before all centuries and ages, in the impassibility of same God and Father, who had taken pity on mankind out of His love for us and our fallen nature, came from His free movement, by the will of God who generated Him with the divine approval of the Holy Spirit; without leaving the heart of his Father, He came down towards our lowliness. According to the common will of the Father and Holy Spirit, and according to His nature and His infinite being, He knew no limits, ignored our successive ways of coming and going. He acted by nature in a divine manner, penetrating into the brilliant virginal purity of Mary's womb; the holy and radiant Virgin, full of a divine wisdom, and free from any stain of the body, heart and spirit. He was incarnated; He, the incorporeal one, took our form. He, who, according to divine essence, was free from form, both inside and out, took a body like ours. He, the immaterial one, became truly man, without ceasing to be recognized as God.
