“All Christians know that God became man for us. Not all, however, realize that He did more than this. Not only did He become one of us; He willed also to make each one of us a part of Himself. In addition to the mystery of the Incarnation, there is the mystery of Incorporation. We are incorporated into the person of Christ.” — Raoul Plus, How To Pray Well
