59. But it is fitting that we should
consider His Majesty in the very fact of His taking flesh for us, that
we may see His divine power in the very taking of the Body. For
as we read that the Father created the mystery of the Lord’s
Incarnation, the Spirit too created it; and so too we read that Christ
Himself created His own Body. For the Father created it, as it is
written: “The Lord created Me,” Prov. viii. 12. and in another place, “God sent His
Son, made of a woman, made under the law.” Gal. iv. 4. And the Spirit created the whole
mystery, according to that which we read, for “Mary was found
with child of the Holy Spirit.” S. Matt. i. 18.
