CHRIST THE HEALING OF MANKIND.
"The Word was made flesh."
SUCH is the Catholic Faith touching the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ-a doctrine defined by the Holy Ghost, and declared by the beloved disciple; such was the prophecy of Isaiah-"Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call his name Immanuel;" such was the salutation of the angel Gabriel" Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God:" such is the witness of the apostles" God was manifest in 2 St. Luke i. 28, 35.
