The Incarnation was a great blessing because God revealed Himself fully in the birth of Christ in the flesh.
God, Who is outside of time, entered in time, as St. Paul writes in his epistle to the Galatians, to ransom us and transform us into children and heirs of God.
Only in the name of Jesus do we find salvation, and that is why He is such a great gift from God. The shepherds provide a great example for us to go in haste to encounter the God Who comes to us.
Mary also provides a great example because she ponders the mystery revealed to her in such an intimate way because she bore the Son of God into the world. She certainly had so much to ponder, as do we.
In so pondering this mystery, like her, we then respond by answering the call to bear the Son of God into the world around us, announcing the Good News of God Who entered time from the outside to sanctify our time for His Glory.
