"He Who made all things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, by His Own Power and Will as God, governs them by His Eternal Laws. At best man has but a limited comprehension of those Laws, only such as God has chosen to reveal, as man by Divine permission rightly uses his God-given powers of investigation. Consequently, the Incarnation, instead of being a change or suspension of these Laws, may very properly, for all we know, have been the completion and fulfillment of them, as the Church believes and the Scriptures infer. He Who made the world out of nothing and made man in His Own Image, after His Likeness, He Who rideth upon the wings of the wind and ruleth the raging of the sea, could have found, may we reverently say, no difficulty about the Incarnation. Rather would this act of love (which bridges the gap between earth and heaven, by sending into our very midst God's Divine Son) seem to be the crowning work of the Almighty Father of all good!"
