The Word took on human nature

From the "Letters" of St. Athanasius, bishop

The Word of God, as the Apostle says, "the seed of Abraham cares. So had to make very similar to the brethren "(Heb 2, 16. 17) and take a body similar to ours. This is why Mary had its existence in the world, because Christ took it from her body and offered as his own, for us. So when the Scripture speaks of the birth of Christ says: "She wrapped him in swaddling clothes" (Lk 2, 7). For this was said blessed are the breasts that nursed. When the mother gave birth to the Savior, he was offered in sacrifice. Gabriel gave the news Mary with caution and discretion. But he did not say just who will be born in you, because you do not think of a foreign body in her, but, to you (cf. Lk 1, 35), because he knew that he she gave the world had originated from her. The Word, taken in itself what was ours, offered it in sacrifice and destroyed him with death. Then we dressed her condition, as the Apostle says: You have this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality (cf. 1 Cor 15, 53). However, this is not a myth, as some are saying. Far be it from us, such a thought. Our Salvatore was truly man and what was the salvation of all mankind. In no way our salvation can be said fictitious. He saved the whole man, body and soul. Salvation has been made of the same Word. Truly human nature was born of Mary, according to the Scriptures, and real, that is human, was the body of the Lord's true, because quite identical to ours, because Mary is our sister, since we all originated in Adam. What we read in John, "the Word became flesh" (Jn 1, 14), still has this meaning, as it is interpreted as other similar words. Is written in Paul: Christ became a curse for us (cf. Gal 3, 13). The man in this intimate union of the Word received an enormous wealth: the condition of death became immortal when he was tied to the physical life, became a partner in the Spirit, even if made of earth, has entered the kingdom of heaven. Although the word has taken a mortal body from Mary, the Trinity itself has remained in what was, without a sort of additions or subtractions. It 'been absolute perfection: Trinity and only deity. And so the Church proclaims in one God the Father and the Word.
