The Son of God became man.

In Jesus Christ, divine and human natures are united in one Person, neither mixed nor separated. He truly works, rejoices, prays, and loves with a human heart.

Key point

Mary freely responded to God's call and became the Mother of Jesus, so the Church proclaims her as the Mother of God because the son she bore is the Incarnate Son.

The Kingdom of God is among humankind.

Jesus' teachings, parables, miracles, and the way he approached the poor and sinners reveal the Kingdom of God. He calls his disciples to stay with him, learn to serve, and continue his mission.

Scripture

Suggested reading: Luke 4:16-22 and Mark 1:14-20. Pay attention to the mission Jesus proclaims and his call to his disciples.

Reflection

What aspects of Jesus's treatment of people challenge my current way of life?

Practice
